It doesn't really make sense?
Something like "Your closure is the entire space" or "there is only one closed set that fits around you" would be better imho. -
beleg31406y@TempestasLudi although by accident I was [procrastinating while] studying topology at the time, I had the model theoretic notion in mind. Either way you should be dense to be able to satisfy the density axiom 😆
-
@beleg But... How does density have anything to do with embedding the real number line?
-
beleg31406y@TempestasLudi Embedding here is something that preserves structure, so the real line (the structure of reals and their usual ordering) being embedded into some other structure M mean that it is (order-) isomorphic to some submodel of M, and therefore they are elementary equivalent. That means the truth of any formula, as well as the density axiom (for all x and y where x<y there is some z such that x<z<y) carries over from the real line to M.
I don't know (yet!) but I guess you can translate all this to the topological definitions of embedding and density. -
Oooh. You're talking about the density of betweenness.
The thing I know as "dense", works as follows: A subset S of a topological space (X, t) is dense if its closure equals X, i.e., if X is the smallest closed set (in (X, t)) that contains S. -
beleg31406y@TempestasLudi I'm just learning topology, so I'm not sure but I guess these notions coincide in a metric space.
-
Hm... On the open interval (0, 1) (subset of R), betweenness is dense, but (0, 1) is not dense in R.
I just made some intellectual insults, thought it might be helpful
