A Topological Rewriting of Tarski's Mereogeometry

Published 16 Nov 2025 in math.LO | (2511.12727v1)

Abstract: Qualitative spatial models based on Goodman-style mereology and pseudo-topology often pose problems for advanced geometric reasoning, as they lack true Euclidean geometry and fully developed topological spaces. We address this issue by extending an existing formalization grounded in a dependent type theory using the Coq proof assistant, together with a Whitehead-like point-free interpretation of Tarski's geometry. More precisely, we build on a library called lambda-MM to formalize Tarski's geometry of solids by investigating an algebraic formulation of topological relations on top of the mereological framework. Since Tarski's work is rooted in Lesniewski's mereology, and given that lambda-MM currently provides only a partial implementation of Tarski's geometry, the first part of the paper completes this framework by proving that mereological classes correspond to regular open sets. This yields a topology of individual names that can be extended with Tarski's geometric primitives. Unlike classical approaches in qualitative logical theories, we adopt a solution that derives a full topological space from mereology together with a geometric subspace, thereby increasing the expressiveness of the theory. In the second part, we show that Tarski's geometry forms a subspace of this topology in which regions correspond to restricted classes. We also prove three of Tarski's original postulates, reducing his axiomatic system, and extend the theory with the T2 (Hausdorff) property and additional definitions.
