Idea

Following the general concept of ( n , r ) (n,r) -category, a (0,1)(0,1)-category is a category whose hom-objects are (-1)-groupoids, hence which for every pair of objects a,ba,b have either no morphism aba \to b or an essentially unique one.

More in detail, recall that:

Therefore:

Remark

(relation between preorders and (0,1)-categories)
An (0,1)(0,1)-category is equivalently a proset (hence a poset).

We may without restriction assume that every hom-\infty-groupoid is just a set. Then since this is (-1)-truncated it is either empty or the singleton. So there is at most one morphism from any object to any other.
