   Format: MarkdownItexWhat does "where sSet is regarded as a Set-enriched category" mean? It hardly seems necessary... Also, I don't understand the third equivalent condition for X to be Kan. What is $\Delta^k[n]$? Can you spell it out more? I didn't know there was any way to define a Kan complex in terms of some map being a bijection.

I wrote it this way to motivate the generalization. > Also, I don't understand the third equivalent condition for X to be Kan. What is $\Delta^k[n]$? Can you spell it out more? I didn't know there was any way to define a Kan complex in terms of some map being a bijection. I' m sorry, there I did not type what I meant: the correct condition would be ''$[\Delta[n],X]\xrightarrow{d} K_n:=\{(x_0,...,x_{k-1},x_{k+1},...,x_n|d_i x_j =d_{j-1} x_i, i\neg = k, j\neg =k, i\lt j\}$ is an epimorphism ( $[\Lambda^k[n],X]$ is then in bijection with $K_n$ where $d_i$ denotes the i-th face map and $d:=d_0\times...\times d_{k_1}\times d_{k+1}\times...\times d_n$). '' So this condition is just a combinatoric description of $[\Lambda^k_n,X]$. The intention behind this is to think of the horn as a collection of n consecutive (n-1)-simplices which the Kan condition then closes by adding a further (n-1)-cell. I deleted this condition since it is not used in the generalization. Maybe one could add some hints to conditions making a [[Kan objecct]] an [[internal infinity-groupoid|internal ∞-groupoid]]. The nlab is down at the moment, so I can't look up what there already stands in regard to this. Maybe one can use some description of objects of composable n-cells -someting like $\times^{0\le i\le n}_{s,t}[\Delta[n],X]$ where $s:=d_n\star d_{n-1}\star d_{n-4}\star...$ and $t:=d_{n-1}\star_{n-3}\star d_{n-5}$ are the pasting of degeneracies- too. (Obviously something is wrong with the formatting)
