We end this subsection with some remarks about Morita equivalence of disklike $n$-categories.

+Recall that two 1-categories $\cC$ and $\cD$ are Morita equivalent if and only if they are equivalent
objects in the 2-category of (linear) 1-categories, bimodules, and intertwinors.
Similarly, we define two disklike $n$-categories to be Morita equivalent if they are equivalent objects in the
$n{+}1$-category of sphere modules.
Because of the strong duality enjoyed by disklike $n$-categories, the data for such an equivalence lives only in
-dimensions 1 and $n+1$ (the middle dimensions come along for free), and this data must satisfy
-identities corresponding to Morse cancellations in $n{+}1$-manifolds.

These 2-morphisms come for free, in the sense of not requiring additional data, since we can take them to be the labeled
cell complexes (cups and caps) in $B^2$ shown in Figure \nn{need figure}.
