 We do not insist on surjectivity of the gluing map, since this is not satisfied by all of the examples
 we are trying to axiomatize.
 If our $k$-morphisms $\cC(X)$ are labeled cell complexes embedded in $X$ (c.f. Example \ref{ex:traditional-n-categories} below), then a $k$-morphism is
-in the image of the gluing map precisely which the cell complex is in general position
-with respect to $E$. On the other hand, in categories based on maps to a target space (c.f. Example \ref{ex:maps-to-a-space} below) the gluing map is always surjective

 If $S$ is a 0-sphere (the case $k=1$ above), then $S$ can be identified with the {\it disjoint} union
 of two 0-balls $B_1$ and $B_2$ and the colimit construction $\cl{\cC}(S)$ can be identified
