   Format: MarkdownItexI've added to [[ternary factorization system]] the example of a span of categories that is both a left and a right fibration, and the condition that makes it a two-sided fibration. There should be a simple common generalization of these and the ambifibrations of the second-last example. I _think_ the middle arrow in the three-way factorization has something to do with the unique transformation that makes the right-fibration structure a colax morphism of $L$-algebras, where $L$ is the monad for left fibrations, so that requiring the arrow to be invertible would (via the usual distributive-law business) be the same as requiring the left- and right-fibration structures to underlie an $M$-algebra, $M$ being the two-sided-fibration monad. But it's fiddly -- has anyone seen this explicitly worked out anywhere?

   Format: MarkdownItexNice, thanks! Actually, I think that can be regarded as a special case of the ambifibrations example: regard E as over $A\times B$, where $A\times B$ has the factorization system (E,M) with E being morphisms of the form (1,g) and M being morphisms of the form (f,1). (That factorization system has the amusing property that (M,E) is also a factorization system!) What you say about distributive laws sounds reasonable, but I haven't seen it worked out either. If you work it out, I think it would be worth adding to [[two-sided fibration]].

   Format: MarkdownItexD'oh, the product category -- I should have thought of that! I think [[two-sided fibration]] could use some expanding and rearranging anyway, so I'll commit myself in public to doing that just so I can't put it off for too long.

   Format: MarkdownItexI made more explicit the "straightforward exercise in orthogonality". Hope it helps to visualize the underlying argument! (in a second moment I'll turn the .png images into real-code diagrams)
