\frametitle{Polygraphic homology in practice}
Let $C$ be a free $\oo$\nbd{}category and write $\Sigma_k$ for its set
of generating $k$\nbd{}cells.
\pause The polygraphic homology of $C$ is the homology of the chain
complex
\[
\mathbb{Z}\Sigma_0 \overset{\partial}{\longleftarrow}

For a \emph{free} $\oo$\nbd{}category, the polygraphic homology is \emph{a
