A [[subobject]] is an equivalence class of monomorphisms. For a different representative of the subobject, $i_{\tilde{U}} \colon \tilde{U}\to X$ there is a unique [[isomorphism]] $b \colon U\to\tilde{U}$ such that $i_{\tilde{U}}\circ b = i_U$, hence $f_{\tilde{U}} = f\circ b$. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/restriction/4">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/restriction/4">v4</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/restriction">current</a>
