   Format: MarkdownItexAdded a very brief remark to [[higher parallel transport]] on what it is conceptually that Abad-Schaetz have been doing, based on a construction by Igusa. Mainly so that the references are there with a small comment. I am hoping to get back to a more detailed discussion of this, but right now I don't have the time. I feel somebody needs to help to bridge a gap between the communities here: on the one hand there is the school speaking of "representations up to homotopy" in components, on the other there are people talkking about quasicohent oo-stacks of modules given by oo-functors $X \to QC$. This is two sides of the same thing! It seems these two communities don't interact yet. I have tried a little bit in person to indicate the relation, but not done yet :-)
