Chain homotopies of simplicial objects in a commutative square #
A simplicial homotopy between morphisms of simplicial objects induces a chain homotopy between the induced morphisms of alternating face map complexes. This file records that the construction is compatible with a commutative square: two simplicial homotopies whose defining families of morphisms commute with a pair of morphisms of simplicial objects give chain homotopies whose components commute with the induced chain maps.
This is the form in which the construction is applied to a pair of simplicial sets, where the square is the inclusion of the subcomplex.

Simplicial homotopies which are compatible with a commutative square of simplicial objects induce compatible chain homotopies on the alternating face map complexes.
