editor note
Spatial region doesn't have a closure axiom because the subclasses don't exhaust all possibilites. An example would be the union of a spatial point and a spatial line that doesn't overlap the point, or two spatial lines that intersect at a single point. In both cases the resultant spatial region is neither 0-dimensional, 1-dimensional, 2-dimensional, or 3-dimensional.
BFO 2 Reference: Spatial regions do not participate in processes.
has associated axiom(nl)
All continuant parts of spatial regions are spatial regions. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [036-001])
