This definition bundle formalizes finite abstract simplicial complexes and their standard geometric realizations, the condition of being a simplicial 444-sphere, the disk/circle moment-angle subspace with its canonical basepoint, the based loop space, total integral singular homology, and injective additive embeddings. These are the transparent objects used in the arbitrary-torsion mission.

# Concrete objects for the moment-angle-manifold theorem

This file gives transparent definitions for every object occurring in the
headline existence theorem of Han--Li.  Mathlib's
`AbstractSimplicialComplex` records all nonempty faces and requires every
singleton to be a face.  The helper `IsFaceOrEmpty` restores the conventional
empty face when defining the moment-angle complex.
