In classical homotopy theory, two morphisms are homotopic if they are. In generality, homotopy theory is the study of mathematical contexts in which functions or rather homomorphisms are equipped with a concept of homotopy between them, hence with a concept of equivalent deformations of morphisms, and then iteratively with homotopies of homotopies between those, and so forth.
