Abstract

A set of conditions for selecting geometrical structures appropriate for cosmological applications is suggested. These conditions are being applied to two geometrical structures constructed mainly for cosmological applications. The algebraic manipulation language REDUCE 2 has been used to carry out the relevant calculations. Without the help of a computer, the calculations involved are very tedious. The results obtained show that one of the two structures should be ruled out as a model for cosmological applications. The combination of the results of the present paper and those of a previous one support the procedure known as ‘The Type Analysis’.
