Definition 5.11.4. Let X be a topological space. We say X is catenary if for every pair of irreducible closed subsets T \subset T' we have \text{codim}(T, T') < \infty and every maximal chain of irreducible closed subsets

T = T_0 \subset T_1 \subset \ldots \subset T_ e = T'

has the same length (equal to the codimension).
