The interior operator o is dual to the closure operator —, in the sense that
- So = X \ (X \ S)—,
and also
- S— = X \ (X \ S)o
where X is the topological space containing S, and the backslash refers to the set-theoretic difference.
Therefore, the abstract theory of closure operators and the Kuratowski closure axioms can be easily translated into the language of interior operators, by replacing sets with their complements.

Famous quotes containing the word interior:
“Men expect too much, do too little,
Put the contraption before the accomplishment,
Lack skill of the interior mind
To fashion dignity with shapes of air.
Luxury, yes but not elegance!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
