    All possible bracketings of \(n\) symbols in all possible orders are exhibited as vertices of a combinatorial CW-complex \(KP_ n\). It is clearly relevant to the coherence of symmetric monoidal categories, yet also fits nicely into Drinfel'd's study of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations and into the analysis of the Grothendieck-Knudsen moduli space of stable \(n\)-pointed curves of genus 0.
