Suspension of operations on composable paths #
An arity-n operation of degree 2 - n on a graded linear quiver corresponds to a degree-one
operation on its suspended Hom modules. GradedLinearQuiver.pathSuspensionEquiv implements
this correspondence for each composable string, including both round trips. Inputs retain
Keller's order (aₙ, …, a₁).
Both sides are families of multilinear maps on homogeneous pieces. The construction extends
these families to total Hom modules, applies the dependent suspension equivalence, and restricts
back to pieces. No casts of multilinear maps along equalities of degrees are part of the API.
The evaluation formula measures the sign in the original degrees, so an input of suspended
degree d contributes d + 1. The unary and binary formulas pin the differential and
composition conventions used for higher categories.

Degree-one path operations on suspended Hom modules. An input of suspended degree d i
is an original morphism of degree d i + 1; the output has original degree ∑ i, d i + 2.

Suspension and unsuspension give mutually inverse linear correspondences between
degree-2 - n path operations and degree-one operations on suspended Hom modules.

Instances For
The path suspension square has the Koszul sign of moving each suspension past the inputs to its left. Degrees in the exponent are original, rather than suspended, degrees.
Unsuspension uses the same sign as suspension when evaluated on the same original homogeneous morphisms.
Unary suspension introduces no sign: the suspended differential is the original operation viewed on regraded pieces.
Binary suspension has sign (-1)^|g| on inputs (g,f), where |g| is the original
degree of the first input. There is no change to the order of composable morphisms.
