contents We exhibit a symmetric promonoidal kernel on the simplex category $Δ$ with Cartesian unit, yielding on representable functors a Hadamard natural transformation $Δ^p\timesΔ^q\toΔ^{pq}$ based on pointwise multiplication of nondecreasing maps. Specializing to $q=1$ yields a simplicial homotopy contracting $Δ^n$ to its $0$-vertex. The contraction is classical; the promonoidal presentation and induced Hadamard map appear not to be recorded.
