293 Erasing and Identity<br />

and an identity to resolve this square<br />

then the following topology (decomposition)<br />

is defined. This time I’ve shown the topology as a lattice. It’s easy to see that the right<br />

angle of the triangle and a corner of the square are distinguished. But other parts of the<br />

triangle and the square go completely unnoticed. If I recognize complements in addition<br />

to the parts I resolve when I use the identities, then a Boolean algebra is defined<br />

that has these four atoms<br />

The first three give me what I want. Now the triangle and the square have two parts<br />

apiece and a common angle<br />

Of course, I can always apply the identities everywhere I can. This determines another<br />

Boolean algebra with the twenty-four atoms
