  Stone duality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Probably the most general duality which is classically referred to as "Stone duality" is the duality between the category Sob of sober spaces with continuous functions and the category SFrm of spatial frames with appropriate frame homomorphisms.
Stone's representation for distributive lattices can be extended via an equivalence of coherent spaces and Priestley spaces (ordered topological spaces, that are compact and totally order-disconnected).
It is common to abbreviate this space as pt(L).

A stone is entered by moving it to an open point corresponding to one of the numbers on the rolled dice.
A player bears off a stone, by rolling a number that corresponds to the point on which the stone resides, and then removing that stone from the board.
More so, if the loser has not borne off any of his stones and still has a stone on the bar or in the winners` home board, he is backgammoned and loses three times the value of the doubling cube.

If a silver mine action card is turned over, each player moves his power stone one space forward on the power track for each mountain range that he has enclosed in his territories.
The other spaces are not viable due to being separated by a boundary or due to their containing a mountain.
The spaces in the territory are counted and will be cross referenced on the territory founding table with the power points.

 Stone's representation theorem for Boolean algebras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In mathematics, Stone's representation theorem for Boolean algebras, named in honor of Marshall H. Stone, is the duality between the category of Boolean algebras and the category of Stone spaces, i.e., totally disconnected compact Hausdorff topological spaces (also known as Boolean spaces).
Stone's duality generalises to infinite sets of propositions the use of truth tables to characterise elements of finite Boolean algebras.
In detail, the Stone space of a Boolean algebra A is the set of all 2-valued homomorphisms on A, with the topology of pointwise convergence of nets of such homomorphisms.

You surround a stone by filling in the spaces around it - a stone can be surrounded by any combination of your stones, your opponent's stones and the edge of the board.
Remember that your stones can be surrounded by your own stones, as well as your opponent's stones and the edge of the board.
Remember, if one of your stones is surrounded on your own turn (even if you surround one of your opponent's stones at the same time), you lose the game.

 Abstract Stone Duality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Abstract Stone Duality (ASD) is a type theory in which the topology on a space is an exponential with a lambda-calculus, not an infinitary lattice.
Stone also told us always to look for the topology on a mathematical construction, even one whose data come from discrete algebra [23].
By Stone duality, the opposite of the category C of ``spaces'' is to be a category of ``algebras'', but defined by a monad over C rather than over sets.

 Domains and Lambda Calculi (book announcement)
In this book we aim to present in an elementary and unified way the theory of certain topological spaces, best presented as order theoretical structures, that have proved to be useful in the modelling of various families of typed lambda-calculi considered as core programming languages and as meta-languages for denotational semantics.
We develop the theory along the lines of chapters 1 and 3: we study stability on meet cpo's, dI-domains and event structures (and coherence spaces), stable bifinite domains (with an application to the construction of a retraction of all retractions), and continuous L-domains.
The simplest framework for stability, coherence spaces, led Girard to the discovery of a new resource-sensitive logic.

 Partializing Stone Spaces using SFP domains   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In this paper we investigate the problem of ``partializing'' Stone spaces by SFP domains.
More specifically, we introduce a suitable subcategory SFPm of SFP, which is naturally related to the special category of Stone spaces 2-Stone, by the functor MAX, which associates to each object of SFPm the space of its maximal elements.
Using the notion of ``rigid'' embedding projection pair, we show that the two domains are not isomorphic, thus providing a negative answer to an open problem raised in their paper by Mislove, Moss and Oles.

 Stonelight Introduction
In early 1995, thanks to Washington, D.C. photographer and teacher Charles Rumph, I became fascinated with the interaction of light and stone, particularly in voluminous spaces created by fashioned structures such as castles, cathedrals, forts, mills, and the like.
Of greatest interest are spaces where there appears to me to be a special harmony in the way in which stone is worked both aesthetically and functionally.
Somewhere in and around such places and at least for some part of the day, the light appears not just to reflect from the stone but also to emanate from it, creating sometimes complex but always mystifying combinations of light and shadow.
