This video presents a visualization of a recent algorithm to compute discrete gradient fields on regular cell complexes. Discrete gradient fields are used in practical methods that robustly translate smooth Morse theory to combinatorial domains. We describe the stages of the algorithm, highlighting both its simplicity and generality.
