Point powers and the trivial permutation action on unit strands #
The tensor powers of a point of an object, and their invariance under the permutation action: permutations act trivially on powers of the unit object, and naturality carries the invariance onto the point powers. In a rigid category the point powers of a monomorphism are monomorphisms. The substrate of the nonvanishing of the local splitting algebra.
The top transposition on a power of the unit is the identity.
Every adjacent transposition acts trivially on a power of the unit.
Permutations act trivially on powers of the unit: every adjacent transposition does, and the action and the trivial character are both multiplicative.
The powers of the unit collapse onto the unit.

Instances For
In a rigid category the power of a monic point is monic.
The power of a monic point is monic, from mono preservation of the tensor factors alone.
The empty point power is the identity.
The recursion of the point powers: one more letter joins on the right.
Point powers concatenate: the tensor of two point powers meets the concatenation as the joint point power.
The permutation action fixes point powers: naturality carries the action onto the unit strands, where it is trivial.
The symmetriser fixes point powers in the module power: every permutation fixes them, so their average does.
Nonvanishing of point powers in symmetric powers over the unit monoid: for a monic point of an object in a rigid category with nonzero unit, no symmetrised point power vanishes.
The nonvanishing of symmetrised point powers, from mono preservation of the tensor factors alone.
