Isometric standard cubes in geometric realizations of precubical sets

Let CC be a finite-dimensional geometric precubical set, let nNn\in\mathbb{N}, let cC(n)c\in C(n), and let InI^n be the standard nn-cube. Write \grealC\greal{C} for the geometric realization of CC and ιc:In\grealC\iota_c:I^n\to\greal{C} for the canonical inclusion. Isometric-cube conjecture. The morphism

ιc:In\grealC\iota_c:I^n\to\greal{C}

is an isometry. This is intended as a global strengthening of the local isometry property of geometric realizations: paths leaving a cube should not shorten distances between points inside it.
