Strict inclusion is preserved by the image of an injective function on finite sets.
For any pair of chambers $C, D$ of an apartment $A$, there exists a bijective vertex map (apartment automorphism) sending $C$ to $D$.
A bijective vertex map between apartments that preserves the face structure is label-preserving.
A bijective face-preserving map between apartments sends maximal faces to maximal faces.
For apartments $A, A'$ both containing a chamber $C$, there is an isomorphism $A \to A'$ that sends $C$ to itself (and is label-preserving).
A bijective apartment iso that fixes a chamber pointwise is the identity on the apartment.
Any apartment isomorphism fixing a chamber is automatically bijective.
Existence of the canonical retraction $\rho_{D;C,A} : X \to A$ centered at a chamber $C$ of an apartment $A$: a vertex-level retraction fixing $A$ pointwise and sending chambers to chambers.
Uniqueness of the retraction $\rho_{D;C,A}$: any two retractions onto $A$ centered at $C$ with the same chamber-level behaviour agree (Section 15.5).
