Tldr We construct finite-dimensional de Rham subcomplexes generated by fixed-neuron shallow ReLUk neural networks and introduce spaces of neural differential forms compatible with the exterior derivative. We prove exactness in arbitrary dimension under a linear independence assumption on the lowest-order family and provide numerical evidence for stable discretizations and convergence rates consistent with the underlying approximation theory.
