Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A simplicial object in Set is precisely a simplicial set; this changes the ambient target category rather than imposing an internal axiom.

How to interpret this relation type

Reinterpret an object, pass to an equivalent presentation, or relate canonically corresponding structures; the carrier may change.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Geometric realization canonically constructs a topological space X|X| from a simplicial set XX; together with the singular complex it relates the corresponding homotopy theories.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.
