 In this section we complete the proofs of Properties \ref{property:disjoint-union}--\ref{property:contractibility}.
 Throughout the paper, where possible, we prove results using Properties \ref{property:functoriality}--\ref{property:contractibility},

+rather than the actual definition of the blob complex.
 This allows the possibility of future improvements on or alternatives to our definition.
 In fact, we hope that there may be a characterization of the blob complex in 
 terms of Properties \ref{property:functoriality}--\ref{property:contractibility}, but at this point we are unaware of one.

 This map is very far from being an isomorphism, even on homology.
