We collect the different definitions/theorems/proofs concerning this correction term, most of which are well-known (at least as folklore) and put everything together in an accessible format. We then show simply and elegantly how these approaches coincide.11 pages, 1 figure. Xy-pic package used. Appendix deleted, Lemma 3.2 proof correctedGeometric TopologyQuantum Algebra57M25text
