+Roughly speaking, the generators of $\bc_k(W; \cC)$ are string diagrams on $W$ together with
a configuration of $k$ balls (or ``blobs") in $W$ whose interiors are pairwise disjoint or nested.
The restriction of the string diagram to innermost blobs is required to be ``null" in the sense that
it evaluates to a zero $n$-morphism of $C$.

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,
-\item an ordering of the balls, and
+\item an ordering of the balls, and \nn{what about reordering?}
\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 gluing map from $\cC$. We call such a field a `null field on $B$'.
