Can cyclic and simplicial objects be related in a similar way to how the species of linear orders is the derivative of the species of cyclic orders?
The derivative of a combinatorial species $S: core(FinSet) \to core(FinSet)$ is given by $S^\prime [N] = S[N\sqcup 1]$. Intuitively, an $S^\prime$-structure is built by introducing a "hole" ...

Is there an analogue of the module of differentials for "higher order derivations" in the Hochschild/cyclic senses?
Note added by YC: the definition below of the cyclic sub-complex is incorrect; and the "higher order derivations" referred to here are traditionally known (since the 1940s) as n-cocycles.
