Optical Axiomatization of Minkowski Space-Time Geometry

Abstract

Minkowski geometry is axiomatized in terms of the asymmetric binary relation of optical connectibility, Using ten first-Order axioms and the second-Order continuity axiom. An axiom system in terms of the symmetric binary optical connection relation is also presented. The present development is much simpler than the corresponding work of robb, Upon which it is modeled.
