Relation To Separation Axioms and Separated Spaces
The separation axioms are various conditions that are sometimes imposed upon topological spaces which can be described in terms of the various types of separated sets. As an example, we will define the T2 axiom, which is the condition imposed on separated spaces. Specifically, a topological space is separated if, given any two distinct points x and y, the singleton sets {x} and {y} are separated by neighbourhoods.
Separated spaces are also called Hausdorff spaces or T2 spaces. Further discussion of separated spaces may be found in the article Hausdorff space. General discussion of the various separation axioms is in the article Separation axiom.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, separation, axioms, separated and/or spaces:
“Hesitation increases in relation to risk in equal proportion to age.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, “the whole is greater than its part;” “reaction is equal to action;” “the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;” and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There is no absolute point of view from which real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“In any case, raw aggression is thought to be the peculiar province of men, as nurturing is the peculiar province of women.... The psychologist Erik Erikson discovered that, while little girls playing with blocks generally create pleasant interior spaces and attractive entrances, little boys are inclined to pile up the blocks as high as they can and then watch them fall down: “the contemplation of ruins,” Erikson observes, “is a masculine specialty.””
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
