  We show that hypernetworks can be regarded as posets which, in their turn,
have a natural interpretation as simplicial complexes and, as such, are endowed
with an intrinsic notion of curvature, namely the Forman Ricci curvature, that
strongly correlates with the Euler characteristic of the simplicial complex.
This approach, inspired by the work of E. Bloch, allows us to canonically
associate a simplicial complex structure to a hypernetwork, directed or
undirected. In particular, this greatly simplifying the geometric Persistent
Homology method we previously proposed.
