Formal Connected Basic Pairs

In this talk, we want to analyze the notion of connected space and connected subset from a constructive point of view in the framework of the Basic Picture.

It will be shown that the Basic Picture allows to give a point-free definition of connected space that is more general than the classical one, although retaining the same intuitive meaning.

Moreover, we will show that there is a close relation between the notions of connection and subspace, and the former allows to derive a sound definition of the latter, based on the 'forget-restore' principle.
