Two Forms of Proximal Physical Geometry. Axioms, Sewing Regions Together, Classes of Regions, Duality, and Parallel Fibre Bundles

Abstract

This paper introduces two proximal forms of Lenzen physical geometry, namely, an \emph{axiomatized strongly proximal physical geometry} that is built on simplicial complexes with the dualities and sewing operations derived from string geometry and an \emph{axiomatized descriptive proximal physical geometry} in which spatial regions are described based on their features and the descriptive proximities between regions. This is a computational proximity approach to a Lenzen geometry of physical space. In both forms of physical geometry, region is a primitive. Intuitively, a region is a set of connected subregions. The primitive in this geometry is \emph{region}, instead of \emph{point}. Each description of a region with $n$ features is a mapping from the region to a feature vector in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In the feature space, proximal physical geometry has the look and feel of either Euclidean, Riemannian, or non-Euclidean geometry, since we freely work with the relations between points in the feature space. The focus in these new forms of geometry is the relation between individual regions with their own distinctive features such as shape, area, perimeter and diameter and the relation between nonempty sets of regions. The axioms for physical geometry as well as the axioms for proximal physical geometry are given and illustrated. Results for parallel classes of regions, descriptive fibre bundles and BreMiller-Sloyer sheaves are given. In addition, a region-based Borsuk-Ulam Theorem as well as a Wired Friend Theorem are given in the context of both forms of physical geometry.

Maximal Center of Distances of Finite Ultrametric Spaces and Perfect Binary Trees

We investigate the finite ultrametric spaces $(X,d)$ that have a given cardinality of the center of distances and a minimal cardinality of the set $X$. It is shown that such spaces are isometric if and only if their centers of distances are the same. The representing trees of these spaces are characterized up to isomorphism.

A continuous $3$-distributive frame that is not $\omega$-distributive

We give a negative answer to the question, posed by Ern\'e, whether every $3$-distributive lattice is $\omega$-distributive. More precisely, we exhibit a continuous frame that is $\kappa$-distributive for every integer $\kappa\geq 2$, but is not a wide coframe. The frame is the open-set lattice of a compact, locally compact, countably based $T_0$ topological meet-semilattice, obtained from Lawson's construction in the logarithmic form described by Goubault-Larrecq. The failure of $\omega$-distributivity is witnessed by an explicit matrix with countably many nonempty finite rows: all row joins are the same nonzero element, whereas every choice of one entry from each row has meet zero. The same space answers negatively Ern\'e's accompanying question whether every $4$-web space is a wide web space. All properties of the construction needed for these conclusions are proved directly.

An overlooked weakening of perfect normality: Perfect regularity in spaces and locales

We introduce the notion of perfect regularity as an appropriate weakening of perfect normality, both for spaces and locales. Various characterizations are given, using Dedekind-MacNeille completions, injective hulls, and sublocales. We place the new class of perfectly regular frames among various well-studied classes of frames. We also introduce the construction of perfect regularization of a completely regular frame, compare it to Isbell's well-known booleanization construction, and argue that it is at least as important as the latter.
