Jul 1, 2022 at 22:18 comment added Dylan Thurston Shortly after this question was posted, Elaisberg and Mishachev published a very relevant paper: arxiv.org/abs/1108.1000 "The Space of Framed Functions is Contractible"
Jul 1, 2022 at 22:16 comment added Dylan Thurston The link in Sergey Melikhov's comment is broken, but it seems to be available currently at mn.uio.no/math/personer/vit/rognes/papers/plmf.pdf and be the paper titled "Spaces of PL Manifolds and Categories of Simple Maps" by Waldhausen, Jahren, and Rognes.

May 3, 2011 at 18:57 comment added Sergey Melikhov Another approach to simplification of Cerf theory is via Hatcher's space $Wh$ and his parametric $h$-cobordism theorem (see section 1.4 in folk.uio.no/rognes/papers/plmf.pdf concerning the history of corrections of its statement and proof). In the case of links in $S^3$, this should amount to reducing/relating the Kirby calculus to some sort of transformations on $3$-manifold spines. Understanding the details of this would be really cool.
