Abstract

In a loose way we perceive the concept of boundary as a continuous set of points laying in some space, points enclosing and wrap** around some compact object, called the inside, and this boundary is somehow thinner than its inside.

We must admit with humility that, while number is purely a product of our minds, space has a reality outside our minds, so that we cannot completely prescribe its properties a priori
