CR manifold

A CR manifold is like a special type of terrain that has bumpy hills and valleys that are made of a certain material called "CR structure". Imagine you are playing with play-dough and you make a flat surface, but then you add some extra play-dough bumps on it. These bumps represent the bumpy hills and valleys on the CR manifold.

But what makes this special is that these bumps are made of a unique type of material called "CR structure". This material is special because it helps us understand how to do maths and calculations on the bumpy CR manifold terrain. It's like having a special tool kit to navigate the terrain without getting lost or confused.

So, a CR manifold is just a bumpy terrain made of special material that helps us do maths and calculations on it.
