The cactus lobe operators <math>(\ ), (x_1), (x_1, x_2), (x_1, x_2, x_3), \ldots, (x_1, \ldots, x_k)\!</math> are often referred to as ''boundary operators'' and one of the reasons for this can be seen most easily in the venn diagram for the <math>k\!</math>-argument boundary operator <math>(x_1, \ldots, x_k).\!</math>  Figure&nbsp;10 shows the venn diagram for the 3-fold boundary form <math>(x, y, z).\!</math>

I sometimes refer to the cactus lobe operators in the series
  −
(), (x_1), (x_1, x_2), (x_1, x_2, x_3), ..., (x_1, ..., x_k)
  −
as "boundary operators" and one of the reasons for this can
  −
be seen most easily in the venn diagram for the k-argument
  −
boundary operator (x_1, ..., x_k).  Figure 10 shows the
  −
venn diagram for the 3-fold boundary form (x, y, z).
