摘要

We define and study the properties of a notion of morphism of enriched categories, intermediate between strong functor and profunctor. Suggested by bicategorical considerations, it turns out to be a generalization of Mealy machine, well-known since the 1950%26apos;s in the theory of computation. When the base category is closed we construct a classifying category for Mealy morphisms, as we call them. This is also seen to give the free tensor completion of an enriched category.
