Description

The concept of “abut” represents a condition in which two objects or spaces meet directly along a shared boundary. It expresses adjacency through physical contact rather than separation. This state creates a precise alignment where edges or surfaces touch without overlap. As an abstract relation, “abut” symbolizes the meeting point between distinct entities. It marks a boundary defined not by distance but by immediate connection. In this sense, “abut” captures the essence of direct spatial contact.
