Abstract
The author discusses the possibility for generalization of the geometrical structure analysis for both solids and liquids. The analysis of structures can be reduced to the geometrical problem of classifying the neighbourhoods of individual points and to the way these neighbourhoods can be related to each other. For the purpose of structure analysis and model building the geometrical point of view seems to be quite applicable.
Резюме
Автор исследует возможности обобщения леометрического структурного анализа твердых тел и жидкостей. Структурный анализ может быть сведен к классификации соседности и индивидуальных точек и к способам, которыми могут быть установлены соотношения между этими соседностями. Геометрическая точка зрения — кажется — хорошо применима для структурного анализа и построения моделеи.
