      The intersection homology groups for stratified spaces \(X\), as introduced by \textit{M. Goresky} and \textit{R. MacPherson} [Topology 19, 135--165 (1980; Zbl 0448.55004)] depend on certain sequences of integers called perversities, which describe how simplicies are allowed to intersect in the singular set of \(X\). The authors introduce a generalization of intersection homology based on a set of perversities, which tolerate more types of intersections. Properties are explored, sample calculations are given, problems are raised (notably concerning dependence on stratification), and possible applications are mentioned.
