Is this question acceptable?: Intuition about connections for cubicle sets?

    I have a "question" (that I have not posted) about cubicle sets but I am not sure if it is quite appropriate. My issue is "What is a connection of a cubical set". I know that they supposed to be extra degeneracies that are needed to make certain things work. But I am not sure what the intuition behind them is. Why these extra relations, and how should I think about them. I have begun some work involving cubical sets, and I think it would be important to understand what these connections are. Any help is appreciated.

    This question seems quite reasonable, but I can provide a quick answer - see Ronnie Brown's expository writings on higher dimensional algebra. He usually gives ample geometric motivation there.
