Taylor components of composites of graded Taylor expansions #
For the reduced tensor coalgebra Tᶜ(M), the arity-n Taylor component of an endomorphism,
LinearMap.taylorComponent, is its restriction to words of length n, followed by projection to
words of length one.
This file computes the Taylor components of a composite of two graded Taylor expansions. On homogeneous letters, specializing both expansions to the same Taylor map gives the square formula
∑_{r+s+t=n} (-1)^(q (|x₁| + ⋯ + |xᵣ|)) F(x₁,…,xᵣ,F(xᵣ₊₁,…,xᵣ₊ₛ),…,xₙ),
the suspended Stasheff sum when q = 1. The general algebraic fact that a q-twisted
coderivation anticommuting with its Koszul twist has an ordinary coderivation as its square is in
TauCeti.LinearAlgebra.TensorCoalgebra.GradedCoderivation. It also shows that the square vanishes
if and only if every arity component map vanishes.
Anticommutation with the twist expresses oddness when q is odd; when q is even the twist is the
identity and the hypothesis reduces to b + b = 0.

The Taylor component of an endomorphism composed with a graded Taylor expansion is obtained by applying the outer endomorphism's letter component to every signed nonempty one-block collapse made by the inner expansion.
On homogeneous inputs, the Taylor component of such a composite is an insertion sum with the Koszul sign contributed by the inner twist and the degrees of the letters preceding the inserted operation.
