Why chain homotopy when there is no topology in the background?
There is an inner-hom in $\mathbf{Chain}$, and the 1-chains are chain homotopies. The definition is
$$
\underline{\mathbf{Chain}}(C_\bullet,D_\bullet)_k = \Pi_n \textrm{Hom} (C_{n-k},D_n)
$$
so a 0-c …

Mapping into a geometric realization.
Suppose $S$ is a simplicial set, $X$ is a space, and we are given a map
\[
f: \text{Sing}\,X\to S.
\]
When is is possible to produce a map $X\to |S|$?
We can take the realization of $f$, to get $|f|: …
