Projective presentations in a projective stable category #

Let E be an exact structure and let P and Q be relative projective presentations P.K ⟶ P.P ⟶ X and Q.K ⟶ Q.P ⟶ Y. A morphism f : X ⟶ Y lifts to the projective middle terms and hence induces ProjectivePresentation.kernelMap on the kernel terms. The lift is not unique, but the induced kernel map is unique in the projective stable quotient.

Consequently, the kernel terms of two projective presentations of the same object are canonically isomorphic in the stable category. A choice of projective presentation for every object produces an additive functor to the stable category, and any two choices produce canonically naturally isomorphic functors. For an exact structure with enough projectives, this is the loop construction before it is descended to an endofunctor of the stable category.
