Abstract
We explore the differential geometry of the quadrant , equipped with the subset diffeology of . We show a striking dichotomy between differential forms and symmetric tensors. While differential forms on are simply restrictions of smooth forms on (a "Fermionic" behavior where singularities are hidden), symmetric tensors exhibit a "Bosonic" behavior where singularities accumulate. We prove a decomposition theorem identifying exactly the singular parts: they are purely axial. Surprisingly, the mixed interaction term is forced to be regular by the symmetries of the corner. Finally, we introduce the notion of \emph{singular capacity} to quantify the order of singularity a tensor can support.
