 Choose a homeomorphism $B^1\cup_{pt}B^1 \to B^1$.
 Define composition in $c(\cX)$ to be the induced map $c(\cX)^1\times c(\cX)^1 \to c(\cX)^1$ (defined only when range and domain agree).
 By isotopy invariance in $\cX$, any other choice of homeomorphism gives the same composition rule.
-Also by isotopy invariance, composition is associative on the nose.
+Also by isotopy invariance, composition is strictly associative.
 
 Given $a\in c(\cX)^0$, define $\id_a \deq a\times B^1$.
 By extended isotopy invariance in $\cX$, this has the expected properties of an identity morphism.

 Given $x\in C^0$, define $\id_x = x\times B^1 \in C^1$.
 We will show that this 1-morphism is a weak identity.
 This would be easier if our 2-morphisms were shaped like rectangles rather than bigons.
