This is a streamlined introduction to the global (infrared) completion of Maxwell-type higher gauge fields (as in the higher gauge sectors of higher-dimensional supergravity and its brane probes) by electromagnetic flux quantization in differential nonabelian cohomology, using cohesive homotopy theory. Applications include D/NS-brane charge in (unstable) K-theory, M-brane charge in unstable Cohomotopy, and geometric engineering of topological quantum order on probe M5-branes.
