 In the $n$-category axioms above we have intermingled data and properties for expository reasons.
 Here's a summary of the definition which segregates the data from the properties.
+We also remind the reader of the inductive nature of the definition: All the data for $k{-}1$-morphisms must be in place
+before we can describe the data for $k$-morphisms.
 
 A disk-like $n$-category consists of the following data:
