Universitet Cubical local partial orders on cubically subdivided spaces - existence and construction

The geometric models of Higher Dimensional Automata and Dijkstra’s PV-model are cubically subdivided topological spaces with a local partial order. If a cubicalization of a topological space is free of immersed cubic Möbius bands, then there are consistent choices of direction in all cubes, such that any n-cube in the cubic subdivision is dihomeomorphic to [0, 1]n with the induced partial order from IRn. After subdivision once, any cubicalized space has a cubical local partial order. In particular, all triangularized spaces have a cubical local partial order. This implies in particular that the underlying geometry of an HDA may be quite complicated.
