Aug 7, 2022 at 16:10 comment added Arshak Aivazian By functorial cylindrical object I mean the cylindrical object resulting from the factorization of the codiagonal map. I want to fix it as the meaning of the word cylinder, in particular, it is unique (and functorial), yes. But no other choice (once and for all) of a cylindrical object also seems natural to me.
Aug 7, 2022 at 14:53 comment added Zhen Lin It seems to me your real objection is not non-functoriality but rather non-uniqueness. Put it another way, it sounds to me you want to find a way to choose just one cylinder object (for each object) once and for all. I think this is not always possible. Certainly standard practice in model category theory is to allow oneself to choose ad hoc cylinder objects as required for the argument.
