The hierarchy of topological properties — Atlas of Fundamental Concepts

StoryThe hierarchy of topological properties

Topological properties do not form one linear ladder. Separation axioms strengthen along one axis; countability conditions along another; metrics, completeness, and separability produce Polish spaces; compactness interacts strongly with Hausdorff and metric assumptions; local compactness and connectedness form additional branches. The selected theorem edges show valid implications without suggesting false converses.

Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
