   Format: MarkdownItexYou defined "has adjoints" twice. It seems to me that the first should have been *for $1$-morphisms* and I changed it accordingly.

   Format: MarkdownItexSomething I may have asked before, but we seem to deal with $\infty$-categories with various properties assigned to certain intervals of $n$-morphisms; no property, has duals, is invertible, is trivial. So we may say 'invertible above $n$', or 'trivial above $n + k$ and below $k$ perhaps with duals between. How far do they ever get combined? I see we have [k-tuply monoidal (n,r)-category](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/k-tuply+monoidal+%28n%2Cr%29-category). Do they crop up in nature? How about a k-tuply monoidal (infinity,n)-category with duals?

   Format: MarkdownItex$k$-tuply monoidal $(n,r)$-categories certainly crop up in nature! How could they not?
