| Abstract: | In this chapter we approach the question of " what is measurable" from an abstract point of view using ideas from geometric measure theory. As it turns out such a first-principles approach gives us quantities such as mean and Gaussian curvature integrals in the discrete setting and more generally, fully characterizes a certain class of possible measures. Consequently one can characterize all possible " sensible" measurements in the discrete setting which may form, for example, the basis for physical simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
