Abstract

Have another look at the concept lattice shown in Figure 1.11 (p. 14). The six attributes describe how two unit squares can be placed with respect to each other. Each of the ten objects is a pair of unit squares representing a possible placement. These ten pairs are representatives for an infinite set of possible positions that such pairs of squares may have. It is not stated, but perhaps expected by the reader, that these ten examples cover all possible combinations of the given attributes.
