Abstract: In this paper I investigate how one might arrive at a set of existential axioms that would specify a
complete 1st-order theory of spatial regions. In such a theory all formulae would be true or false (given
that constants are taken as existentially quantified with widest scope). The RCC spatial logic based on the
relation of connectedness, C, will be taken as the starting point. This theory is not complete, since it does
not guarantee the realisation of all possible configurations of regions.... (Update)

.... (Clarke 1981) Among these, particular relevance for AI purposes has the so called RCC theory (Randell and Cohn 1992, Gotts 1994, Bennett 1995, Gotts et al. 1996) which has been recently joined by other proposals originating in the area of philosophy and linguistics...
...that the external connection may be tangency or overlapping, for example) while in the RCC 8 model this distinction is possible. Bennett (1994, 1995), used propositional logic to represent RCC reasoning problems. He observed that, given a propositional logic, and interpreting...
