comment

  • Spatial entity that is a spatial region that has of one less spatial dimension than the spatial region that it bounds.

discussion

  • Spatial boundaries are abstractions of the real world that assigns spatial regions to one or another physical entities. As such, specifying a spatial boundary requires a specification (usually implicitly) of spatial scale. For example, a partioning into intra- and extra-cellular spaces may require the specification of an intramembrane space, and further into intracellular and extracellular peri-membrane spaces, which may be further distinguished by the gradient of membrane proteins, glycoproteins, etc. that decorate cell membranes.
