In the mathematical fields of differential geometry and geometric measure theory, homological integration or geometric integration is a method for extending the notion of the integral to manifolds. Rather than functions or differential forms, the integral is defined over currents on a manifold.
The theory is "homological" because currents themselves are defined by duality with differential forms. To wit, the space Dk of k-currents on a manifold M is defined as the dual space, in the sense of distributions, of the space of k-forms Ωk on M. Thus there is a pairing between k-currents T and k-forms...

I want to try and identify a geometric structure I thought up while doing some weird stuff with making things walk on the surface of a 3D model and trying to incorporate backface culling into the surface geometry itself. See, in computer graphics each side of a polygon or triangle are considered ...

So for some context, I was in a proof writing class a couple months back. I really liked it and did quite well, but midway through the course we were doing things regarding the norm of these other kinds of integers (elements of $\textbf{Z}[\sqrt{3}]$). Basically things like the fact that there is...
