With manifolds, you usually don't want the edges to be included. > Locally Euclidian is something like "xutla diklo". Every time I look at the definition of {diklo} I get confused. I can never quite figure out the relationship between x1, x2 and x3. Something is a locus on something else, but which one is the locus? "x1 is local to x2" would seem to say that x1 is a locus of x2. But then it says "x1 is confined to locus x2 within range x3" so now it seems x2 is a locus of x3, and x1 is something located there? So is it a Russian doll sort of structure x3(x2(x1)) ? {xutla} does seem perfectly fine for the mathematical sense of "smooth". mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
