 The $k$-blob group $\bc_k(W; \cC)$ is generated by the $k$-blob diagrams. A $k$-blob diagram consists of
 \begin{itemize}
-\item a permissible collection of $k$ embedded balls (called `blobs') in $W$,
+\item a permissible collection of $k$ embedded balls,
 \item an ordering of the balls, and
 \item for each resulting piece of $W$, a field,
 \end{itemize}

+such that for any innermost blob $B$, the field on $B$ goes to zero under the composition map from $\cC$. We call such a field a `null field on $B$'.
 
 The differential acts on a $k$-blob diagram by summing over ways to forget one of the $k$ blobs, with signs given by the ordering.

+We now spell this out for some small values of $k$. For $k=0$, the $0$-blob group is simply fields on $W$. For $k=1$, a generator consists of a field on $W$ and a ball, such that the restriction of the field that that ball is a null field. The differential simply forgets the ball. Thus we see that $H_0$ of the blob complex is the quotient of fields by null fields.
+
+For $k=2$, we have a two types of generators; they each consists of a field $f$ on $W$, and two balls $B_1$ and $B_2$. In the first case, the balls are disjoint, and $f$ restricted to either of the $B_i$ is a null field. In the second case, the balls are properly nested, say $B_1 \subset B_2$, and $f$ restricted to $B_1$ is null. Note that this implies that $f$ restricted to $B_2$ is also null, by the associativity of the gluing operation. This ensures that the differential is well-defined.

 This says that we can recover (up to homotopy) the space of maps to $T$ via blob homology from local data. 
 Note that there is no restriction on the connectivity of $T$ as there is for the corresponding result in topological chiral homology \cite[Theorem 3.8.6]{0911.0018}.
