To locally specify a hyperbolic or spherical space, you just need one number, the curvature. What do you need to specify this? A vector (number and direction)?

The empty set is the underlying set of the empty list, but the empty list has additional structure.
Though I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a case where it matters.

You need to be able to walk to the county seat. As opposed to further out west, where you need to be able to drive to the county seat. I think.

Not quite a Janus word, but 'prescribe'/'proscribe' is quite the doublet
