Formalising GD&T

I just formalised a key part of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) which is the standard language used by engineers for communicating how much a manufactured part is allowed to vary from its original, intended design.[1] The idea of giving tolerancing a mathematical foundation goes back at least to Requicha's theory of geometric tolerancing.[2]

I'm doing research to make engineered physical systems formally verifiable.
