Collapsing a block of a tensor word to a single letter #
For an R-module M, TauCeti.ReducedTensorWords.splice x a b p d e is the tensor word obtained
from the block x a ⋯ x (a + b - 1) by deleting its d letters at relative offset p and putting
the single letter e in their place. It is the shape of every summand of a coderivation of the
reduced tensor coalgebra, whose Taylor expansion replaces one block of letters by the value of a
single operation on that block.
The main computation here is TauCeti.ReducedTensorWords.deconcatenation_splice: a cut of a spliced
word falls either weakly to the left of the new letter, leaving a plain block on the left and a
spliced word on the right, or strictly to its right, leaving a spliced word on the left and a plain
block on the right. No cut splits the new letter, a letter having no internal position. Written
this way both halves are again of the two shapes subword and splice, which is what makes the
coderivation identity an equality of two sums over the same pairs of a cut position and a collapsed
block.

The block x a ⊗ ⋯ ⊗ x (a + b - 1) with its d letters at relative offset p replaced by the
single letter e, a tensor word of length b + 1 - d.
It is zero unless the collapsed block is nonempty and fits inside the block being spliced, which
fits inside x; the intended range of the definition is 0 < d, p + d ≤ b and a + b ≤ n.

Instances For
On its intended range, a spliced word is the pure tensor of its letters: the letters of the block before the collapsed subblock, then the new letter, then the letters after it.
Collapsing an empty subblock is zero: a letter is never produced out of nothing.
A collapsed subblock running past the end of the spliced block is zero: the length b of that
block is smaller than the end p + d of the subblock.
A spliced block running past the end of the tuple is zero: the length n of the tuple is
smaller than the end a + b of the block.
A spliced word vanishes when the collapsed block does not fit into the block being spliced into: either the collapsed block is empty, or it overruns that block.
A spliced word depends only on the letters of the block it splices, not on the tuple carrying them nor on the position of the block in it.
Splicing in the zero letter gives the zero word.
Mapping a spliced tensor word applies the map to the untouched letters and the replacement letter.
Reduced deconcatenation of a spliced word. A cut never splits the new letter, so it falls either weakly to its left, leaving a plain block and a spliced word, or strictly to its right, leaving a spliced word and a plain block. Both sums range over the cut position measured in the original block, and their summands vanish outside the positions that really occur; that is what makes the identity hold for a degenerate collapsed block too, both sides then being zero.
Prepending the first letter of a tuple to a splice of the remaining letters is the splice of the whole tuple at the next position.
