    I added to higher homotopy van Kampen theorem the statement of the theorem by Jacob Lurie.

    The result of Lurie is called a higher homotopy van Kampen theorem though it looks like a much older small simplex theorem.

    A notable feature of the HHSvKTs with which I have been involved, and indeed in the traditional vKT, is the key notion of connected and its use in the statement and proof of the theorems, But this terms does not occur in some of the other statements of results labelled as in this class of theorems.

    On this basis alone, the theorems would seem to be of very different types.

    I think it makes sense to call any theorem of the sort “fundamental nn-groupoid functor preserves some colimits” a “higher van Kampen theorem”.

    As far as I can tell, Lurie's (non-stratified) Van Kampen theorem is exactly Proposition A.5 of Segal's paper on foliations: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/82283884.pdf

    Does that look right to y'all?
