Abstract: We give an explicit point-set construction of the Dennis trace map from the $K$-theory of endomorphisms $KmathrmEnd(mathcalC)$ to topological Hochschild homology $mathrmTHH(mathcalC)$ for any spectral Waldhausen category $mathcalC$. We describe the necessary technical foundations, most notably a well-behaved model for the spectral category of diagrams in $mathcalC$ indexed by an ordinary category via the Moore end. This is applied to define a version of Waldhausen's $$-construction for spectral Waldhausen categories, which is central to this account of the Dennis trace map. Our goals are both convenience and transparency---we provide all details except for a proof of the additivity theorem for $mathrmTHH$, which is taken for granted---and the exposition is concerned not with originality of ideas, but rather aims to provide a useful resource for learning about the Dennis trace and its underlying machinery.
