| Nov 19, 2020 at 22:53 | comment | added | Rachid Atmai | Thanks for the feedback and links, definitely want to exclude $0$ an the identity... | |
| Nov 19, 2020 at 20:40 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | The identity also makes your diagram commute! I think you further want to require that $d$ is a derivation of degree $1$, and even then I think you can at best hope to recover $d$ up to a scalar. | |

| Nov 19, 2020 at 18:25 | comment | added | Stefan Waldmann | I'm pretty sure that $d = 0$ makes your diagram commute...? | |
