We give the construction first in these two cases, under the assumption that we have only two objects. Then we generalise to an arbitrary family of arbitrary modules. The key elements of the general construction are more clearly identified by considering these two cases in depth.

Famous quotes containing the words construction, spaces and/or groups:

    There’s no art
    To find the mind’s construction in the face.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    through the spaces of the dark
    Midnight shakes the memory
    As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Diana Crane (b. 1933)
