Abstract
Ever since one of us (W. N.) began the attempt to analyze some of the basic concepts of continuum physics in terms of precise mathematical structures about thirty years ago (see [N1]), it was clear that a concept of “fit region” in a Euclidean space was needed. Only such “fit regions” should be sets fit to be occupied by continuous bodies and their subbodies.
