The compatibility equations between braiding and the associator in a braided monoidal category. Omitting the associators from the notation, they read ca,b⊗c​=(1b​⊗ca,c​)(ca,b​⊗1c​) and ca⊗b,c​=(ca,c​⊗1b​)(1a​⊗cb,c​). Thus exchanging a composite with another object is the sequence of exchanges of its factors.
