The key geometric objects underlying Morse homology are the moduli spaces of connecting gradient trajectories between critical points of a Morse function. The basic question in this context is the following: How much of the topology of the underlying manifold is visible using moduli spaces of connecting trajectories? The answer provided by "classical" Morse homology as developed over the last 35 years is that the moduli spaces of isolated connecting gradient trajectories recover the chain homotopy type of the singular chain complex.
