Reduced deconcatenation is coassociative #

TauCeti.ReducedTensorWords.deconcatenation cuts a nonempty tensor word at every nontrivial position. This file proves that it is coassociative by including a reduced word into TauCeti.TensorWords, using coassociativity of full deconcatenation there, and projecting every tensor factor back to positive length. The two degenerate cuts contain an empty-word factor and therefore vanish under the projection, leaving exactly reduced deconcatenation.

Reduced deconcatenation is coassociative: cutting a reduced word twice gives the same sum of three blocks whether the second cut is made in the left or right factor.
