The theory of space in GOL is based on works of Brentano and
Chrisholm brentano1,chrisholm1. Space is three dimensional, and
a connected region of space is called a topoid. Regions of space are
mereological sums of topoids, sums in the sense of a relation
, spatial part-of
. As for chronoids, regions of
space
have boundaries, and the boundaries of different regions of space may
coincide. However, a three-dimensional region of space has a
two-dimensional boundary, which may have one-dimension boundaries
which again has zero-dimensional boundaries or spatial points as
boundaries.
Spatial regions have size and shape. Two different regions of space
are congruent if they have the same size and shape.
