The interior operator o is dual to the closure operator —, in the sense that
- So = X \ (X \ S)—,
and also
- S— = X \ (X \ S)o
where X is the topological space containing S, and the backslash refers to the set-theoretic difference.
Therefore, the abstract theory of closure operators and the Kuratowski closure axioms can be easily translated into the language of interior operators, by replacing sets with their complements.

“Professor Eucalyptus said, “The search
For reality is as momentous as

For an interior made exterior
