(For $k=1$ this is an interval, and for $k=2$ it is a bigon.) Since we are thinking of $B^k$ as a bihedron, we have a standard decomposition of the $\bd B^k$ into two copies of $B^{k-1}$ which intersect along the ``equator" $E \cong S^{k-2}$. -Recall that the subscript in $\cC(B^k)_E$ means that we consider the subset of $\cC(B^k)$ +Recall that the subscript in $\cC(B^k) \trans E$ means that we consider the subset of $\cC(B^k)$ whose boundary is splittable along $E$. This allows us to define the domain and range of morphisms of $C$ using boundary and restriction maps of $\cC$.
