The virtual body, lifted from a graph to a 2-complex: cells are 0-simplices, gap junctions 1-simplices, triangulated tissue patches 2-simplices. Its homology is a signature of morphological integrity — a healthy body is a disk (b₁=0); a wound is a hole (b₁=1). The white seams are the anatomical-boundary sub-complex.
