Assuming that the displayed second-stage maps exist on actual arguments and that the scalar coefficient is supplied only by the degree-two block, the two associations agree modulo exactly when

Proof. Expand the first stage and then its second multiplication, and do the same for . The order-zero equality is classical associativity. Equating the next three coefficients gives exactly (eq:assoc1)–(eq:assoc3).
