Consider two (distinct) octahedral diagrams i.e. diagrams mentioned in the octahedron axioms of triangulated categories (with four 'commutative triangular faces' and four 'distinguished triangular faces'). Is it true than one can extend to a morphism of such diagrams:
- any morphism of one of the 'commutative faces' of the octahedron 2 any morphism of the pair of morphisms whose target is the upper vertex of the octahedron (i.e. a morphism of commutative triangles not lying on the faces of the octahedrons)?
Both of these statements seem to be easy, yet I am affraid to miss something. Could I write (in a paper) that these facts are well-known? Is there any text where I could look for various facts of this sort?
