C_iThe data of the modules of a simplicial module is stored in two different ways, depending on whether the simplicial module $S$ is obtained as the Dold-Kan image of some complex. If the simplicial module is obtained as a Dold-Kan image of some complex $C$, then for each $i$ there is a decomposition $$S_i = C_0 \oplus C_1^{\binom{i}{1}} \oplus \cdots \oplus C_j^{\binom{i}{j}} \oplus \cdots.$$ Thus the individual terms $C_j^{\binom{i}{j}}$ may be accessed as the $(i,j)$-component of the simplicial module. If $S$ is not obtained as a Dold-Kan image, then each term is considered singly indexed with no additional components.

If the simplicial object is obtained as a Dold-Kan image, then using an integer subscript will automatically take the direct sum over all the terms of the complex appearing in that degree (and cache the components of that direct sum accordingly).

Indices that are outside of the top degree automatically return the zero object.
