==Definition==
*1: something that indicates or fixes a [[limit]] or extent
==Descriptions==
A [[unit]] of real estate or immovable [[property]] is [[limited]] by a [[legal]] '''boundary'''. The boundary (in Latin: limes) may appear as a discontinuation in the terrain: a ditch, a bank, a hedge, a wall, or similar, but essentially, a legal boundary is a [[conceptual]] [[entity]], a [[social]] construct, adjunct to the likewise [[abstract]] entity of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_rights property rights].
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadastral_map cadastral map] displays how boundaries subdivide [[land]] into units of ownership. However, the relations between [[society]], owner, and land in any [[culture]] or [[jurisdiction]] is conceived of in terms more [[complex]] than a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation tessellation]. Therefore, the society concerned has to specify the rules and means by which the boundary concept is materialized and located on the ground.
A 'Western' version of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operationalization operationalization] might be a legally specified [[procedure]], performed by a chartered surveyor, supported by [[statements]] from [[neighbors]] and pertinent [[documents]], and resulting in official recording in the cadastre as well as boundary markings in the field. Alternatively, [[indigenous]] people represent boundaries through ephemeral performances, such as [[song]] and [[dance]], and, when in more permanent form, e.g. [[paintings]] or carvings, in artistic or [[metaphorical]] [[manner]].
==Personal Boundaries==
''Personal boundaries'' are guidelines, rules or [[limits]] that a person creates to identify for him- or herself what are reasonable, safe and [[permissible]] ways for other people to [[behave]] around him or her and how he or she will respond when someone steps outside those limits. They are built out of a mix of [[beliefs]], [[opinions]], [[attitudes]], past [[experiences]] and [[social]] learning.
Personal boundaries define you as an [[individual]], outlining your likes and dislikes, and setting the distances you allow others to approach. They include [[physical]], [[mental]], psychological and [[spiritual]] boundaries, involving beliefs, [[emotions]], [[intuitions]] and [[self-esteem]]. Jacques Lacan considered them to be layered in a [[hierarchy]], reflecting “all the successive envelopes of the [[biological]] and [[social status]] of the person” from the most [[primitive]] to the most advanced.
==Mindal Boundaries==
''Boundaries of the mind'' refers to a [[personality]] [[trait]] concerning the degree of [[separateness]] (“thickness”) or [[connection]] (“thinness”) between [[mental]] [[functions]] and processes. Thin boundaries are associated with open-mindedness, [[sensitivity]], [[vulnerability]], [[creativity]], and artistic ability. People with thin boundaries may tend to confuse [[fantasy]] and [[reality]] and tend to have a [[fluid]] sense of [[identity]], so that they tend to merge or lose themselves in their relations with others. People with thick boundaries [[differentiate]] clearly between reality and fantasy and between [[self]] and [[other]], and tend to prefer well-defined social [[structures]]. The concept was developed by psychoanalyst Ernest Hartmann from his observations of the personality characteristics of frequent [[nightmare]] sufferers.The construct has been particularly studied in relation to [[dream]] recall and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dreaming lucid dreaming].
