 We can't quite do the same with all $\cV_k$ just equal to $\cU$, but we can get by if we give ourselves arbitrarily little room to maneuver, by making the blobs we act on slightly smaller.

 We choose yet another open cover, $\cW$, which so fine that the union (disjoint or not) of any one open set $V \in \cV$ with $k$ open sets $W_i \in \cW$ is contained in a disjoint union of open sets of $\cU$.

 For the proof of xxxx below we will need the following observation on the action constructed above.
 Let $b$ be a blob diagram and $p:P\times X\to X$ be a family of homeomorphisms.
 Then we may choose $e$ such that $e(p\ot b)$ is a sum of generators, each
