		Axioms (3) and (4) can be generalised (using a proof by mathematical induction) to the equivalent single statement: Mathematical induction is a method of mathematical proof typically used to establish that a given statement is true of all natural numbers.
		Mathematical axioms In topology, a praclosure operator, preclosure operator, or ÄŒech closure operator is a map between subsets of a set, similar to a closure operator, except that it is not required to be idempotent.
		The closure* is idempotent: the closure of the closure equals the closure.

	Closure (mathematics) Summary
		An operation of a different sort is that of finding the limit points of a subset of a topological space (if the space is first countable, it suffices to restrict consideration to the limits of sequences but in general one must consider at least limits of nets).
		In linear algebra, the linear span of a set X of vectors is the closure of that set; it is the smallest subset of the vector space that includes X is closed under the operation of linear combination.
		In group theory, the normal closure of a set of group elements is the smallest normal subgroup containing the set.

	54: General topology
		Thus a general theme in topology is to test the extent to which the axioms force the kind of structure one expects to use and then, as appropriate, introduce other axioms so as to better match the intended application.
		Since the axioms of topology are stated in terms of subsets of X, it should be no surprise that one branch of topology is closely related to set theory, particularly "descriptive set theory".
		The distinction between this and the previous paragraph is that additional axioms are assumed about a new construct provided at the outset, rather than additional axioms about the topology; thus the questions asked about these structures can be about either the topology or about the new construct.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Kuratowski closure axioms
		In topology and related branches of mathematics, the Kuratowski closure axioms are a set of axioms which can be used to define a topological structure on a set.
		A similar set of axioms can be used to define a topological structure using only the dual notion of interior operator.
		If the second axiom, that of idempotence, is relaxed, then the axioms define a praclosure.

	Topological Foundations of Cognitive Science
		The axioms define a well-known kind of structure, that of a closure algebra, which is the algebraic equivalent of the simplest kind of topological space.
		The closure of x is the circle of similars including all instances of red; the closure of y is the circle of similars including all instances of green.
		Moreover, where Kuratowski's axioms were formulated in terms of the single topological primitive of closure, Zarycki showed (1927) that a set of axioms equivalent to those of Kuratowski can be formulated also in terms of the single primitive notion of border, and the same applies, too, in regard to the notions of interior and boundary.

		Metric spaces were defined and investigated by Fréchet in 1906, Hausdorff spaces by Felix Hausdorff in 1914 and the current concept of topological space was described by Kuratowski in 1922.
		It is almost universally true that all "large" algebraic objects carry a natural topology which is compatible with the algebraic operations.

	From Frege To Godel: von Heijenoort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Zermelo placed a spotlight on the axiom of choice by using it to prove every set can be well-ordered (later defending the axiom of choice and his proof).
		The Peano axioms are introduced, in a symbolic notation closer to that used today (e.g., epsilon is used for class membership, and inverted C for implication).
		The argument is based on the Liar paradox, except instead of considering a statement expressing "I am not true," he considers a statement expressing "I am not provable." The diagonalization used to construct such a statement is reminiscent of Cantor's diagonal procedure and Richard's paradox.

		The name comes from the fact that forming the closure of subsets of a topological space has these properties if the set of all subsets is ordered by inclusion ⊆.
		Given a closure operator C, a closed element of P is an element x that is a fixed point of C, or equivalently, that is in the image of C.
		The closure operators on the partially ordered set P are then nothing but the monads on the category P.

	Interior (topology) - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The notion of interior is in many ways dual to the notion of closure.
		If S is a subset of an Euclidean space, then x is an interior point of S if there exists an open ball centered at x which is contained in S.
		Therefore, the abstract theory of closure operators and the Kuratowski closure axioms can be easily translated into the language of interior operators, by replacing sets with their complements.
