The next one is called <a href="http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/modification">modification</a>. Modifications between ordinary natural transformations between functors between categories are trivial, but they exist between <a href="http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/lax+natural+transformation"> lax natural transformation</a>s between 2-functors between 2-categories. The next one after that is called _perturbation_ : a perturbation goes between pseudonatural transformations between 3-functors between 3-categories. Beyond that, no established terms exists. Instead one starts numbering things and speaks of <a href="http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/transfor">transfors</a>. n-Functors are 0-transfors. Transformations are 1-transfors. Modifications are 2-transfors. Perturbations are 3-transfors. And so on.
