Theorem
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau_p}$ be a particular point space.
Let $x \in S$ such that $x \ne p$.
Then $x$ is a limit point of $p$.
Proof
Let $U \in \tau$ be an open set of $T$.
Then by definition of $T$:
- $p \in U$
That is, $U$ contains (at least) one point of $S$ which is distinct from $x$.
As $U$ is arbitrary, it follows that all open set of $T$ have this property.
The result follows by definition of the limit point of a point.
