flowcomplexes
Flowcomplexes are a concept within algebraic topology used to study the properties of topological spaces. They are generalizations of simplicial complexes, offering a more flexible framework for certain applications. A flowcomplex can be thought of as a collection of topological spaces, called cells, along with a set of rules dictating how these cells are glued together. Unlike simplicial complexes, where cells are simplices (like points, line segments, triangles, and their higher-dimensional analogues), the cells in a flowcomplex can be arbitrary topological spaces.
The defining characteristic of a flowcomplex lies in the specific way its cells are connected. These connections
