1: Structured Description

Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
$T^{\prime }$: $\in \{\text{ the topological spaces }\}$
$T$: $\subseteq T^{\prime }$, with the subspace topology
$\ast f$: $:T^{\prime }\to T$, $\in \{\text{ the continuous maps }\}$
//

Conditions:
$\mathrm{\forall }p\in T(f(p)=p)$
//

2: Natural Language Description

For any topological space, $T^{\prime }$, and any subspace, $T\subseteq T^{\prime }$, any continuous map, $f:T^{\prime }\to T$, such that $\mathrm{\forall }p\in T(f(p)=p)$
