https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular%20homotopy
In the mathematical field of topology, a regular homotopy refers to a special kind of homotopy between immersions of one manifold in another. The homotopy must be a 1-parameter family of immersions. Similar to homotopy classes, one defines two immersions to be in the same regular homotopy class if there exists a regul...
