| May 6, 2012 at 1:32 | comment | added | Hans-Peter Stricker | There is a misunderstanding: I don't want to restrict the meaning of "distance" by imposing and fixing boundaries, but try to release it by looking for the loosest conditions of a concept to count as distance-like. I personally find the (cited) definition of dissimilarity too loose (to count as a "distance"), but this is - of course - arguable. Concerning my motivation and what I "actually want to do": my concern is mainly philosophical, I have no specific intrinsically mathematical intentions. | |
