 Given an $A_\infty$ $n$-category $\cC$ and an $n$-manifold $M$, we define the blob
-complex $\bc_*(M)$ to the be the colimit $\cC(M)$ of Section \ref{sec:ncats}.
+complex $\bc_*(M)$ to the be the homotopy colimit $\cC(M)$ of Section \ref{sec:ncats}.

 Given permissible decompositions $x$ and $y$, we say that $x$ is a refinement
 of $y$, or write $x \le y$, if each ball of $y$ is a union of balls of $x$.
 This defines a partial ordering $\cJ(W)$, which we will think of as a category.
