Abstract
While the axioms of a medium do not require the sets of states or tokens to be finite or otherwise limit their cardinality, they nevertheless impose an essential finiteness constraint on the structure. One goal of this chapter is to clarify this issue. A second goal is to study the tight link existing between the concept of a medium and certain families of sets called ‘well-graded.’ The two goals are related.
