Maps of fundamental-groupoid Čech diagrams #
A map of covered spaces induces a natural transformation between the corresponding fundamental-groupoid Čech diagrams. Its components commute with the canonical cocones into the ambient fundamental groupoids. Thus a natural map on the eventual Čech colimits is forced to be the usual map on fundamental groupoids.

Instances For
If the source canonical cocone is colimiting, then its induced map to the target canonical cocone is the usual map on fundamental groupoids. This is the map-level naturality statement needed by the Čech colimit form of van Kampen.
