Abstract
This paper introduces point-set topology into international interactions. Nations are sets of people who interact if there is a well-defined function between them. To do all these, we need to have the structure that describes how such nations interact. This calls for a topology. The kind of topology we construct in this perspective is made up by decision spaces. We first begin by developing a mathematical representation of a decision space, and use such spaces to develop a topology on a nation. Subsequently, we revisit some properties of the interior, closure, limit, and boundary points with respect to this topology and the new concept of ϕ - proximity. Finally, we define and develop ϕ - connectedness of subspaces of a nation.
