+A system of fields and local relations $(\cF,U)$ determines an $n$-category $\cC_ {\cF,U}$ simply by restricting our attention to
 balls and, at level $n$, quotienting out by the local relations:
 \begin{align*}
 \cC_{\cF,U}(B^k) & = \begin{cases}\cF(B) & \text{when $k<n$,} \\ \cF(B) / U(B) & \text{when $k=n$.}\end{cases}
 \end{align*}
+\end{lem}
 This $n$-category can be thought of as the local part of the fields.
 Conversely, given a disk-like $n$-category we can construct a system of fields via 
 a colimit construction; see \S \ref{ss:ncat_fields} below.

+Instead of using the TQFT invariant $\cA$ as in Example \ref{ex:ncats-from-tqfts} above, we can turn an $n$-dimensional system of fields and local relations into an $A_\infty$ $n$-category using the blob complex. With a codimension $k$ fiber, we obtain an $A_\infty$ $k$-category:
