Homotopies between maps of Čech nerves, and maps into a Čech nerve #
Let F G : f ⟶ g be two morphisms of arrows with the same component F.right = G.right on the
targets. The induced maps of Čech nerves Arrow.mapCechNerve F and Arrow.mapCechNerve G are
simplicially homotopic. In degree n the i-th component of the homotopy
f.cechNerve _⦋n⦌ ⟶ g.cechNerve _⦋n + 1⦌ repeats the i-th factor of the wide pullback and
applies F.left to the factors in positions ≤ i and G.left to the others.
Applied to the Čech nerve of a family of objects over a terminal object, this says that the map
induced on Čech nerves by a refinement of covers does not depend on the chosen refinement map, up
to homotopy. This is the input for TauCeti.CategoryTheory.cechComplexMapHomotopy, which shows
that the maps induced on Čech complexes by two refinement maps are homotopic.
The simplices of cechNerveTerminalFrom U, the Čech nerve of U ⟶ ⊤_ C with ⦋n⦌ ↦ Uⁿ⁺¹, are
determined by their vertices, and every family of vertices is the family of vertices of a simplex
(CategoryTheory.cechNerveTerminalFrom.hom_ext and CategoryTheory.cechNerveTerminalFrom.lift).
For an object T, the morphisms from T into the Čech nerve of f form an augmented simplicial
set over the morphisms T ⟶ f.right which lift along f.hom. It has an extra degeneracy, which
inserts a chosen lift of the base as a new first factor; this is Mathlib's extra degeneracy of the
Čech nerve of a split epimorphism, Arrow.AugmentedCechNerve.extraDegeneracy, with the section
chosen separately over each morphism. For the map from the disjoint union of a family of open sets
and T a topological simplex, it shows that the rows of the Čech--singular double complex resolve
the singular chains subordinate to the family.

Morphisms of arrows with the same target component induce homotopic maps of Čech
nerves. If F.right = G.right, then Arrow.mapCechNerve F and Arrow.mapCechNerve G are
simplicially homotopic.

The simplicial operators act on maps into the Čech nerve by postcomposition.
The augmentation sends a map into the Čech nerve to its composite with the base.
The source and target of ConcreteCategory.hom are given explicitly, as left.obj n and
right, so that the left-hand side is in simp normal form: elaborated directly they would be
(𝟭 _).obj left and (const.obj right).obj n, which simp rewrites first.
