this paper is to build several homology theories which are strongly related with the geometric properties of these paths. Concurrent machines can be formalized using cubical complexes (definition (2.1.1)) : the main idea is that a n-cube represents the simultaneous execution of n 1-transitions (Pratt, 1991). For example, take the following automaton :
