Motion 31 (proposed Level 1 text V04.2) and Boolean functions



In §5.6.9 and Table 5, ⊂ (U+2282 SUBSET OF) is used for
containedInInterior, while this symbol usually means either
"subset of" or "proper subset of" (i.e. subset of but not equal).
See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-11>.

There could also be: isBounded and isSingleton.

Comparisons mainly come from Motion 13.04, but a weakness of this
motion was that it gave an implementation, not the meaning as set
(or topological space) functions.

I wonder whether precedesEqual(A,B) and precedes(A,B) should be true
if A and/or B is empty, because they should respectively be equivalent
to: for all a in A and all b in B, a <= b (resp. a < b). But they
would no longer be transitive.

I agree that lessEqual(Empty,Empty) should be true, though Motion 13.04
said that the result is false. Then lessEqual(A,B) is equivalent to:
  for all a in A, there exists b in B such that a <= b
and
  for all b in B, there exists a in A such that a <= b
