-satisfying the above two conditions.
+Moreover, for any $m \geq 0$, we can find a family of chain maps $\{e_{XY}\}$ 
+satisfying the above two conditions which is $m$-connected. In particular, this means that the choice of chain map above is unique up to homotopy.

+Note that the statement doesn't quite give uniqueness up to iterated homotopy. We fully expect that this should actually be the case, but haven't been able to prove this.

 Before giving the proof, we state the essential technical tool of Lemma \ref{extension_lemma}, 
 and then give an outline of the method of proof.

 these two maps agree up to $m$-th order homotopy.
 More precisely, one can show that the subcomplex of maps containing the various
 $e_{m+1}$ candidates is contained in the corresponding subcomplex for $e_m$.
