Du trimorphe aux frontières quasi topologiques by Jean-Pierre Desclés

“…Therefore, to describe numerous semantic oppositions (such as “again” / “not again”, “already” / “already no longer”), one must invoke “thick boundaries”—internal and external boundaries. Navigating topological places (temporal, spatial, spatio-temporal, notional) means crossing these different boundaries. …”
