 It is easy to see that this axiom holds in our two motivating examples, 
 using standard facts about transversality and general position.
 One starts with $q$, perturbs it so that it is in general position with respect to $c$ (in the case of string diagrams)

 Here's a summary of the definition which segregates the data from the properties.
