Thurston's h-principle for 2-dimensional foliations of codimension greater than one

Thurston's h-principle for 2-dimensional foliations of codimension greater than one

<!-- *** Custom HTML *** --> We recreate an unpublished proof of William Thurston from the early 1970's that any smooth 2-plane field on a manifold of dimension at least 4 is homotopic to the tangent plane field of a foliation.
