Four main models of the appearance of boundaries (in a particular case, integrity), arising from the theory of nonlinear dynamic systems, are considered briefly. On the basis of Kotelnikov’s fundamental sampling theorem and, accordingly, general information theory, the character of a distinguished boundary as a function of the sampling frequency in a spatial series with a regular step is investigated and the measurement unit “berg” (one full oscillation per one kilometer) is introduced, which is essentially identical to the unit “hertz” for a time series. The main provisions are illustrated using the analysis of the properties of real biogeocenoses and multispectral measurements of solar radiation reflection by the SPOT 6 satellite.
