ct.category theory - Does linearization of categories reflect isomorphism?

In this answere I (try to) present the problem as a Algebraic Geometry one:



consider the category mathscrC with two objects X,Y and



mathscrC(X,Y)={r1,s1,r2,s2} ;
mathscrC(Y,X)={s1,r1,s2,r2} ; mathscrC(X,X)={1X,eX} ; mathscrC(Y,Y)={1Y,eY} where eX,eY are idempotent, and any composition of a morphism by a a idempotent not alter the morphism, and 1Y=r1circs1=r2circs2, 1X=r1circs1=r2circs2, all other compositions give the (no identity) idempotent.
Suppose that R is a commutative ring and in RmathscrC consider the morphims
A:=a1cdotr1+b1cdots1+a2cdotr2+b2cdots2:XtoY and



B:=b1cdots1+a1cdotr1+b2cdots2+a2cdotr2:YtoX.



Let alpha:=a1+b1+a2+b2, beta:=b1+a1+b2+a2,



Then we have BcircA=1X iff:



1) a1cdotb1+a2cdotb2=1 and



2) betacdota1+(betaa1)cdotb1+betacdota2+(betaa2)b2=0 i.e. betacdotalpha=a1cdotb1+a2cdotb2



similarly we have AcircB=1Y iff:



1') a1cdotb1+a2cdotb2=1 and



2') alphacdotbeta=b1cdota1+b2cdota2



all these equations are equivalent to the system of three equations:



a1cdotb1+a2cdotb2=1,a1cdotb1+a2cdotb2=1,alphacdotbeta=1



thinking these in mathbbC[a1,b1,a2,b2,b1,a1,b2,a2] these represent three varieties on mathbbC8



If these varieties have an a intersections then X,Y are isomorphic in mathbbCmathscrC (but aren't isomorphic in mathscrC).
