Cycles and boundaries for the fully blocked grid differential #

This file packages the kernel and range of the fully blocked grid differential as the cycle and boundary submodules of the finite free grid chain module. It does not assert the global square-zero theorem; instead it records the exact condition under which boundaries are cycles.

      @[simp]

      A chain is a fully blocked cycle exactly when its differential vanishes.

      @[simp]

      A chain is a fully blocked boundary exactly when it is the differential of some chain.

      The fully blocked cycle submodule is the kernel of the fully blocked differential, restated so that downstream files can rewrite with it without unfolding the definition.

      The fully blocked boundary submodule is the range of the fully blocked differential, restated so that downstream files can rewrite with it without unfolding the definition.

      Boundaries lie in cycles once the fully blocked differential is square-zero.

      The fully blocked cycle submodule is top when the differential is the zero map.

      The fully blocked boundary submodule is bottom when the differential is the zero map.
