   Format: MarkdownItexhave added ([here](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/conformal+block#RelationToBraidingOfFieldInsertions)) a paragraph briefly stating that the genus=0 confromal blocks of a rational 2d CFT determine the braided monoidal structure on the corresponding VOA representation category. Up to slight rewording, this is the same paragraph that I had recently added also at *[[modular tensor category]]* ([here](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/modular%20tensor%20category#RelationToConformalBlocks)) <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/conformal+block/19">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/conformal+block/19">v19</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/conformal+block">current</a>
