We will now explicitely construct a left adjoint of $U$. In order to do that, we will successively construct left adjoints of $W$ and $V$.

Let $E=(\Sigma,C,s,t)$ be an $n$-cellular extension. Consider the alphabet that has:
\begin{itemize}
\item[-] a symbol $\hat{x}$ for each $x \in\Sigma$,
\item[-] a symbol $\hat{\comp_k}$ for each $k<n$,
\item[-] a symbol $\fcomp_k$ for each $k<n$,
\item[-] a symbol $\ii_x$ for each $x \in C_{n\shortminus1}$,
\item[-] a symbol of opening parenthesis $($,
\item[-] a symbol of closing parenthesis $)$.

We denote by $\W[E]$ the set of words on this alphabet (i.e. finite sequence of symbols). If $w$ and $w'$ are elements of $\mathcal{W}[E]$, we write $ww'$ for their concatenation.
We denote by $\W[\Sigma]$ the set of words on this alphabet (i.e. finite sequence of symbols). If $w$ and $w'$ are elements of $\mathcal{W}[\Sigma]$, we write $ww'$ for their concatenation.
The \emph{length} of a word $w$, denoted by $\mathcal{L}(w)$, is the number of symbols that appear in $w$.
%The \emph{length} of a word $w$, denoted by $\mathcal{L}(w)$, is the number of symbols that appear in $w$.
We now recursively define the set $\Sigma^{+}\subseteq\W[\Sigma]$ of \emph{well formed words} on this alphabet together with maps $s,t : \Sigma^{+}\to C_{n-1}$:
\begin{itemize}
\item[-] for every $x \in\Sigma$, we have $(\hat{x})\in\Sigma^{+}$ with
\[s((\hat{x}))=s(x)\text{ and }t((\hat{x}))=t(x),\]
\item[-] for every $x \in C_n$, we have $(\ii_{x})\in\Sigma^{+}$ with
\[s((\ii_x))=t((\ii_x))=x,\]
\item[-] for all $v,w \in\Sigma^{+}$ such that $s(v)=t(w)$, we have $(v \fcomp_n w)\in\Sigma^{+}$ with \[s((v \fcomp_n w))=s(w)\text{ and }t((v \fcomp_n w))=t(v),\]
\item[-] for all $v, w \in\Sigma^{+}$ and $0\leq k < n\shortminus1$, such that $s_k(s(v))=t_k(t(w))$, we have $(v \fcomp_k w)\in\Sigma^{+}$ with \[s((v \hat{\comp_k} w))= s(v)\comp_k s(w)\] and \[t((v \hat{\comp_k} w))=t(v)\comp_k t(w).\]
\end{itemize}
We define $s_k , t_k: \Sigma^{+}\to C_k$ as iterated source and target (with $s_n=s$ and $t_n=t$ for consistency). We say that two well formed words $v$ and $w$ are \emph{parallel} if
\[s(v)=s(w)\text{ and }t(v)=t(w).\]
and we say that they are \emph{$k$-composable} for a $k< n$ if
\[s_k(v)=t_k(w).\]
Let $E'=(\Sigma',C',s',t')$ be another $n$-cellular extension and $(\varphi,f) : E \to E'$ a morphism of $n$-cellular extensions. We recursively define a map $f^+ : \Sigma^+\to\Sigma^+$ with

We now recursively define the set $\Sigma^{+}\subseteq\W[\Sigma]$ of \emph{well formed words} (or \emph{terms}) on this alphabet together with maps $s,t : \Sigma^{+}\to C_{n-1}$ that satisfy the globular conditions:
\begin{paragr}
Let $E=(\Sigma,C,s,t)$ be an $n$-cellular extension. We define an $n$-precategory $W_!(E)$ with
\begin{itemize}
\item[-]$(\hat{x})\in\Sigma^{+}$ with
\[s((\hat{x}))=s(x)\text{ and }t((\hat{x}))=t(x)\]
for each $x \in\Sigma$,
\item[-]$(\ii_{x})\in\Sigma^{+}$ with $s((\ii_x))=t((\ii_x))=x$ for each $x \in C_n$,
\item[-]$(v \comp_n w)\in\Sigma^{+}$ with $s((v \comp_n w))=s(w)$ and $t((v \comp_n w))=t(v)$ for $v,w \in\Sigma^{+}$ such that $s(v)=t(w)$,
\item[-]$(v \hat{\comp_k} w)\in\Sigma^{+}$ with \[s((v \hat{\comp_k} w))= s(v)\comp_k s(w)\] and \[t((v \hat{\comp_k} w))=t(v)\comp_k t(w)\] for $v, w \in\Sigma^{+}$ and $0\leq k < n$, such that $s_k(s(v))=t_k(t(w))$.
\item[-]$\tau(W_!(E))=C$,
\item[-]$W_!(E)_n=\Sigma^{+}$,
\item[-] source and target maps $\Sigma^+\to C_{n-1}$ as defined in the previous paragraph,
\item[-] for every $x \in C_{n-1}$,
\[1_x :=(\ii_x)\]
\item[-] for every $v,w \in\Sigma^+$ that are $k$-composable for a $k<n$,
\[
v\comp_kw :=(v \fcomp_k w).
\]
\end{itemize}
%As usual, if $w \in \Sigma^{+}$ we often write $w : x \to y$ to say that $s_n(w)=x$ and $t_n(w)=y$.
We define $s_k , t_k: \Sigma^{+}\to C_k$ as iterated source and target (with $s_n=s$ and $t_n=t$ for consistency). We say that two well formed words $v$ and $w$ are \emph{parallel} if
\[s(v)=s(w)\text{ and }t(v)=t(w)\]
and we say that they are \emph{$k$-composable} for a $k\leq n$ if
\[s_k(v)=t_k(w).\]
It is straightforward to check that this defines an $n$-precategory. Let $(\varphi,f) : E \to E'$ be a morphism of $n$-cellular extensions. We define a morphism of $n$-precategories $W_!(\varphi,f) : W_!(E)\to W_!(E')$ with
For every $k\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $k < n$, we define the set $\Sigma^{+}\underset{C_k}{\times}\Sigma^{+}$ as the following fibred product
\[
\begin{tikzcd}
\Sigma^{+}\underset{C_k}{\times}\Sigma^{+}\ar[r]\ar[dr,phantom,"\lrcorner", very near start]\ar[d]&\Sigma^{+}\ar[d,"t_k"]\\
\Sigma^{+}\ar[r,"s_k"]& C_k.
\end{tikzcd}
\]
That is, elements of $\Sigma^{+}\underset{C_k}{\times}\Sigma^{+}$ are pairs $(x,y)$ of well formed words such that $s_k(x)=t_k(y)$. We say that two well formed words $x$ and $y$ are \emph{$k$-composable} if the pair $(x,y)$ belongs to $\Sigma^{+}\times_{C_k}\Sigma^{+}$.
