1: Structured Description

Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
$V_1$: $\in \{\text{ the real vectors spaces }\}$
$V_2$: $\in \{\text{ the real vectors spaces }\}$
$\{p_0,...,p_n\}$: $\subseteq V_1$, $\in \{\text{ the possibly-non-affine-independent sets of base points on }{V}_1\}$
$S$: $=\{\sum _{j=0\sim n}{t}^j{p}_j\in V|t^j\in \mathbb{R},\sum _{j=0\sim n}{t}^j=1\wedge 0\le t^j\}$
$\ast f$: $:S\to V_2$
//

Conditions:
$f$ is the domain restriction of any affine map from the affine set spanned by the set of the base points.

2: Natural Language Description

For any real vectors spaces, $V_1,V_2$, any possibly-non-affine-independent set of base points, $\{p_0,...,p_n\}\subseteq V_1$, and the convex set spanned by the set of the base points, $S:=\{\sum _{j=0\sim n}{t}^j{p}_j\in V|t^j\in \mathbb{R},\sum _{j=0\sim n}{t}^j=1\wedge 0\le t^j\}$, any map, $f:S\to V_2$, that is the domain restriction of any affine map from the affine set spanned by the set of the base points

---

3: Note

$f$ cannot be defined as an affine map from the affine simplex spanned by an affine-independent subset of the base points, because generally, the affine simplex does not cover $S$ (see the proposition that the convex set spanned by a non-affine-independent set of base points on a real vectors space is not necessarily any affine simplex spanned by an affine-independent subset of the base points).

Still, $f$ is linear with respect to the base points, by the proposition that any affine map from the affine or convex set spanned by any possibly-non-affine-independent base points is linear.
