Metric spaceTopological space

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Open metric balls generate the canonical topology of a metric space.

How to interpret this relation type

Pass canonically from a stronger object to structure it determines, or forget part of the data while retaining a valid weaker structure. The carrier may change under a canonical induced construction.
