Abstract

In section 1.4.2, we have mentioned Clifford’s reflections about the boundary of a point set in a discrete space. Boundaries are very important because they separate different point sets, i.e. the local spatial properties change greatly at boundaries. Further, some topological and geometrical characteristics of objects in discrete spaces can be expressed by sum terms corresponding to single surfaces as the formulas of section 2.4.4 show.
