This video presents a visualization of a recent algorithm to compute discrete gradient fields on regular cell complexes [3] . 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.
