 Given a gluing decomposition $M_0 \to M_1 \to \cdots \to M_m = X$, we say that a field is splittable along it if it is the image of a field on $M_0$.
 
-In the example above, note that $$A \sqcup B \sqcup C \sqcup D \to (A \cup B) \sqcup (C \cup D) \to A \cup B \cup C \cup D$$ is a  ball decomposition, but other sequences of gluings starting from $A \sqcup B \sqcup C \sqcup D$have intermediate steps which are not manifolds.

 We'll now slightly restrict the possible configurations of blobs.
