Recall that for every $n \geq0$ we have taken the habit of identifying $n\Cat$ as a full subcategory of $\oo\Cat$ via the canonical fully faithful functor $\iota_n : n\Cat\to\oo\Cat$ (defined in \ref{paragr:defncat}) that sends an $n$\nbd-category $C$ to the $\oo$\nbd-category with the same $k$\nbd-cells as $C$ for $k\leq n$ and only unit cells for $k > n$. In particular, we abusively wrote
\[
C=\iota_n(C).

Within this section, \emph{and only within this section}, we try not to make this abuse of notation and explicitly write $\iota_n$ whenever we should.
