Authored explanation
Geometric realization canonically constructs a topological space ∣X∣ from a simplicial set X; 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.
