Topology could be described as the study of topological invariants/properties of spatial objects,
such as connectedness, continuity, closeness and dimension which remain invariant while
applying topological two-directional continuous one-to-one or homoeomorphic transformations,
such as those applied to a rubber-sheet or a piece of dough to change their shapes without tearing
them apart, making cuts, making holes, gluing pieces.

Here is a formal definition of what qualifies as a topological model:
Think of it as an abstraction of Euclidean space in which neighbourhoods are open balls [open sets, the space inside the
balls without the ball surfaces] around points. Concretely, a topology [can be loosely considered as a topological model] on
a point set 𝕏 is a collection 𝒰 [that is e.g. a geometric model whose inner space is abstracted as a collection of such
neighbourhoods] of subsets of 𝕏, called open sets, such that:
(i) 𝕏 is open and the empty set ∅ is open;
(ii) if 𝑈1 and 𝑈2 are open, then 𝑈1 ∩ 𝑈2 is open; //[i.e. the intersection of two open sets is open]
(iii) if 𝑈𝑖 is open for all 𝑖 in some possibly infinite, possible uncountable, index set, then the union of all 𝑈𝑖 is open. //[i.e.
the unison of open sets is open]
From Computational Topology, An Introduction, Edelsbrunner, Herbert and Harer, John, 2010, p.15, annotations in
brackets from Pirouz Nourian.
Here is an example of what this definition could mean e.g. in case of modelling with point clouds:

Topology is a very broad subject area, in which at least two fields are relevant to us:
Point-Set Topology (a.k.a. General Topology)
Algebraic Topology (f.k.a. Combinatorial Topology)
Point-Set Topology: Point-Set topology, also called set-theoretic topology or general topology, is
the study of the general abstract nature of continuity or "closeness" on spaces. Basic point-set
topological notions are ones like continuity, dimension, and connectedness.
In the context of Point Set Topology we discuss: Nodes, Arcs, Disks, Balls (topological models
use to describe the space inside Point Neighbourhoods, Curves, Surfaces, and Solids)
Loosely speaking, this sense of topology is evident in the global structure of a geometric model.
Algebraic Topology: Algebraic Topology, which includes Combinatorial Topology, is the study of
“topological invariants” or ”topological properties” of combinatorial maps or decompositions of
spaces such as [but not limited to] simplicial complexes.
In the context of Algebraic Topology we discuss: Vertices, Edges, Faces, Bodies, (topological
models used to tessellate/approximate/decompose Points, Curves, Surfaces, and Solids)
Loosely speaking, this sense of topology is evident in the local structure of a geometric model.
We shall see how both of these senses come together in one equation describing topological
invariants.

• The geometry of a Mesh can be represented by its points (known as [geometrical] vertices
in Rhino), i.e. a ‘list’ of 3D points in ℝ3
• The topology of a Mesh can be represented based on its [topological] vertices, referring to a
‘set’ of 3D points in ℝ3
, there are multiple ways to describe how these vertices are spatially
related (connected or adjacent) to one another and also to edges and faces of the Mesh

• If an edge has less than two faces adjacent to it then it is considered free;
• If a vertex is part of such an edge it is considered as free too.

• if a Mesh is supposed to be a 2D manifold then it should meet these criteria:
1. each edge is incident to only one or two faces; and
2. the faces incident to a vertex form a closed or an open fan.
Non manifold Mesh examples: (note why!)
Manifold Mesh
A 2-manifold [everywhere] locally resembles a flat surface
• if a Mesh is supposed to be orientable then, it should be possible to find
‘compatible’ orientations for any two adjacent faces; in which, for each pair of
adjacent faces, the common edge of the two faces has opposite orders.
• Example: Möbius band is a 2D manifold Mesh that is non-printable.

Mesh Topology: Homeomorphism
clay models that are all topologically equal!
Images courtesy of Dr. Ching-Kuang Shene from Michigan Technological University
Two 2-manifold Meshes A and B are
homeomorphic if their surfaces can be
transformed to one another by topological
transformations (bending, twisting, stretching,
scaling, etc.) without cutting and gluing.

• N-Manifold/Non-Manifold: Each point of an n-dimensional manifold has a
neighborhood that is homeomorphic to the Euclidean space of dimension n
• Riddle: The above definition implies that for mapping some local geographic features 2D
maps are fine. What about the whole globe? That is not homoeomorphic to a rectangular
surface! How do we do it then?

  • 13. 1313 Here is a formal definition of what qualifies as a topological model: Think of it as an abstraction of Euclidean space in which neighbourhoods are open balls [open sets, the space inside the balls without the ball surfaces] around points. Concretely, a topology [can be loosely considered as a topological model] on a point set 𝕏 is a collection 𝒰 [that is e.g. a geometric model whose inner space is abstracted as a collection of such neighbourhoods] of subsets of 𝕏, called open sets, such that: (i) 𝕏 is open and the empty set ∅ is open; (ii) if 𝑈1 and 𝑈2 are open, then 𝑈1 ∩ 𝑈2 is open; //[i.e. the intersection of two open sets is open] (iii) if 𝑈𝑖 is open for all 𝑖 in some possibly infinite, possible uncountable, index set, then the union of all 𝑈𝑖 is open. //[i.e. the unison of open sets is open] From Computational Topology, An Introduction, Edelsbrunner, Herbert and Harer, John, 2010, p.15, annotations in brackets from Pirouz Nourian. Here is an example of what this definition could mean e.g. in case of modelling with point clouds: A User’s Guide to Topological Data Analysis Modelling Space Manifolds Topology Point Set Topology Algebraic Topology Non-Euclidean Space Geometric Models Parametric Models Boundary Representation Simplexes Polyhedral Meshes Polygon Meshes Manifold Mesh Euler-Poincare Equation Poincare Duality Topological Models Normal Vectors Meshing Mesh Transform Terminology
  • 14. 1414 Topology is a very broad subject area, in which at least two fields are relevant to us: Point-Set Topology (a.k.a. General Topology) Algebraic Topology (f.k.a. Combinatorial Topology) Point-Set Topology: Point-Set topology, also called set-theoretic topology or general topology, is the study of the general abstract nature of continuity or "closeness" on spaces. Basic point-set topological notions are ones like continuity, dimension, and connectedness. In the context of Point Set Topology we discuss: Nodes, Arcs, Disks, Balls (topological models use to describe the space inside Point Neighbourhoods, Curves, Surfaces, and Solids) Loosely speaking, this sense of topology is evident in the global structure of a geometric model. Algebraic Topology: Algebraic Topology, which includes Combinatorial Topology, is the study of “topological invariants” or ”topological properties” of combinatorial maps or decompositions of spaces such as [but not limited to] simplicial complexes. In the context of Algebraic Topology we discuss: Vertices, Edges, Faces, Bodies, (topological models used to tessellate/approximate/decompose Points, Curves, Surfaces, and Solids) Loosely speaking, this sense of topology is evident in the local structure of a geometric model. We shall see how both of these senses come together in one equation describing topological invariants.
