This would seem to make little sense since compact Hausdorff spaces are the best we have and finite T₁-spaces are discrete. But given a bit of intuition obtained from the first talk, it becomes natural. We discuss the meaning and possibility of such approximation. (References: R. Kopperman and R. G.
