Definitions |
Definition: A "snap:IndependentContinuant" ("independent_continuant") that is a lower dimensional part of a spatial entity, normally a closed two-dimensional surface. Boundaries are those privileged parts of "snap:Object" ("object") entities that exist at exactly the point where the "snap:Object" ("object") is separated off from the rest of the existing entities in the world. Examples: the surface of the skin, the surface of the earth, the surface of the interior of the stomach, the outer surface of a cell or cell wall Comment: Boundaries are theoretically difficult entities to account for, however the intuitive notion of a physical boundary as a surface of some sort (whether inside or outside of a thing) will generally serve as a good guide for the use of this universal. Synonyms: substance boundary |
