May 25, 2018 at 14:00 comment added j.c. Second, if you cross-post a question you should wait at least a few days, and it is good etiquette to link to the previous question so that there is no duplication of effort. You only waited 1 hour before you reposted it here, and you got a good answer on MSE not too long afterwards, so "did not get too much attention" is not a fair assessment.
May 25, 2018 at 14:00 comment added j.c. Here it is on MSE: math.stackexchange.com/questions/2795410/rank-of-a-distribution . First, just because a question gets no attention on MSE, that does not mean that it is suitable for this site. In this case, I agree with the above commentators that this question is not of research level.
May 25, 2018 at 13:32 comment added Gibbs Actually I have already posted it on MSE, but did not get too much attention. That is why I tried here.
May 25, 2018 at 13:29 comment added Alex M. @BenMcKay: I flagged this post for migration to MSE, but then I saw that it got 3 upvotes and an answer with 6 upvotes, so fearing a "declined" status I withdrew my flag.

May 25, 2018 at 10:38 comment added Ben McKay The leaves of a distribution $S$ on a manifold $M$ are the maximal dimensional connected immersed submanifolds $L \subset M$ whose tangent spaces $T_p L$ at any point $p \in L$ are the subspaces $T_p L = S_p$. Leaves might not exist, but if there is a leaf of $S$ through a point $p$, then there is a unique leaf of $S$ through $p$.
