For in , conjugate the induced natural transformation by the chosen representations of a functor:The Yoneda lemma gives a unique morphism whose postcomposition map is . Explicitly,Consequently, for every ,This is precisely the required naturality in . The identities and force and , because the Yoneda embedding is fully faithful. Thus the representing objects extend uniquely to a functor . Uniqueness follows by the same Yoneda lemma: any candidate satisfying that naturality must induce , so must have exactly the displayed action on morphisms.
