Neighborhood System D69B9D
1. The problem asks for the definition of a neighborhood system.
2. In topology, a neighborhood system (or neighborhood filter) of a point $x$ in a topological space is the collection of all neighborhoods of $x$.
3. A neighborhood of $x$ is any set that includes an open set containing $x$.
4. Formally, the neighborhood system $\mathcal{N}(x)$ is defined as:
$$\mathcal{N}(x) = \{N \subseteq X : \exists \text{ open } U \text{ with } x \in U \subseteq N\}$$
5. This means every neighborhood contains an open set that contains the point $x$.
6. Neighborhood systems help describe local properties of spaces and are fundamental in defining continuity, convergence, and other topological concepts.
