Refinements of fundamental-groupoid Čech diagrams #
A chosen refinement r from a family of open sets U to a family V, with
U i ⊆ V (r i), sends every finite intersection for U into the intersection for the image of
its indices under r. Applying the fundamental-groupoid functor to these inclusions gives a
natural transformation between the corresponding Čech diagrams.
The transformation commutes with the legs of the canonical cocones into the fundamental groupoid of the ambient space.
