Spatial boundaries are abstractions of the real world that assigns spatial regions to one or another physical entities. As such, specifying a spatial boundary requires a specification (usually implicitly) of spatial scale. For example, a partioning into intra- and extra-cellular spaces may require the specification of an intramembrane space, and further into intracellular and extracellular peri-membrane spaces, which may be further distinguished by the gradient of membrane proteins, glycoproteins, etc. that decorate cell membranes. |
