Abstract: In this article, we present a dynamical homotopical cancellation theory for Gutierrez-Sotomayor singular flows

v a r p h i

, GS-flows, on singular surfaces

M

. This theory generalizes the classical theory of Morse complexes of smooth dynamical systems together with the corresponding cancellation theory for non-degenerate singularities. This is accomplished by defining a GS-chain complex for

(M, v a r p h i)

and computing its spectral sequence

(E^{r}, d^{r})

. As

r

increases, algebraic cancellations occur, causing modules in

E^{r}

to become trivial. The main theorems herein relate these algebraic cancellations within the spectral sequence to a family

M_{r}, v a r p h i_{r}

of GS-flows

v a r p h i_{r}

on singular surfaces

M_{r}

, all of which have the same homotopy type as

M

. The surprising element in these results is that the dynamical homotopical cancellation of GS-singularities of the flows

v a r p h i_{r}

are in consonance with the algebraic cancellation of the modules in

E^{r}

of its associated spectral sequence. Also, the convergence of the spectral sequence corresponds to a GS-flow

on

, for some

, with the property that

admits no further dynamical homotopical cancellation of GS-singularities.
