fundamental object of geometry: locus within which we can distinguish no other locus than itself

AI overview

A point is the most basic object in geometry—a location in space that has no size, shape, or internal structure. Points matter because they serve as the foundation for building all other geometric shapes and figures, from lines to triangles to complex objects.
