Idea

Given two sequential diagrams (A, a) and (B, b), their sequential colimits X and Y, and a morphism f : (A, a) → (B, b), there is a unique map g : X → Y, such that the diagram

        a₀      a₁      a₂
    A₀ ---> A₁ ---> A₂ ---> ⋯ ---> X
    |       |       |              |
 f₀ |       | f₁    | f₂           | g
    ∨       ∨       ∨              ∨
    B₀ ---> B₁ ---> B₂ ---> ⋯ ---> Y
        b₀      b₁      b₂

commutes.

The unique map corresponding to the identity morphism is the identity map id : X → X, and the unique map corresponding to a composite of two morphisms is the composite of the two unique maps for the individual morphisms.

In particular, when we also consider existence of the standard sequential colimits, we obtain a functorial action taking sequential diagrams and morphisms between them to their colimits and maps between them.

  (A, a)    A∞
    |       |
  f |   ↦   | f∞
    ∨       ∨
  (B, b)    B∞  .

Additionally, an equivalence of sequential diagrams induces an equivalence of their colimits.

Properties

A morphism of sequential diagrams induces a map of cocones

module _
  { l1 l2 l3 : Level} {A : sequential-diagram l1} {B : sequential-diagram l2}
  ( f : hom-sequential-diagram A B) {X : UU l3}
  where

  map-cocone-hom-sequential-diagram :
    cocone-sequential-diagram B X  cocone-sequential-diagram A X

    comp-hom-sequential-diagram A B (constant-sequential-diagram X) c f

A morphism of sequential diagrams induces a map of sequential colimits

The unique map g : X → Y such that the diagram

        a₀      a₁      a₂
    A₀ ---> A₁ ---> A₂ ---> ⋯ ---> X
    |       |       |              |
 f₀ |       | f₁    | f₂           | g
    ∨       ∨       ∨              ∨
    B₀ ---> B₁ ---> B₂ ---> ⋯ ---> Y
        b₀      b₁      b₂

commutes then induces a cocone under (A, a) with codomain Y, which is homotopic to the cocone under (B, b) precomposed by f.

This homotopy of cocones provides vertical commuting prisms of maps,

          Aₙ₊₁
         ∧ | \
       /   |   \
     /     |fₙ₊₁ ∨
    Aₙ ---------> X
    |      |      |
    |      ∨      |
 fₙ |     Bₙ₊₁    | g
    |    ∧   \    |
    |  /       \  |
    ∨/           ∨∨
    Bₙ ---------> Y ,

where the triangles are coherences of the cocones of the sequential colimits, the back left square is coherence of f, and the front and back right squares are provided by uniqueness of g.
