Abstract: We develop the idea of self-indexing and the technology of gradient-like vector fields in the setting of Morse theory on a complex algebraic stratification. Our main result is the local existence, near a Morse critical point, of gradient-like vector fields satisfying certain ``stratified dimension bounds up to fuzz for the ascending and descending sets. As a global consequence of this, we derive the existence of self-indexing Morse functions.
