Finite collections of data analysed by using statistical and/or data mining techniques are usually discrete representations of a continuous reality. Therefore the fundamental question arise whether rules and regularities discovered in data bases are fictive or describe essential properties of the real world. In order to answer this question a more general “continuous” insight into the problem of data representation, acquisition and analysis is necessary. A formal philosophical/mathematical approach to rules in data bases has been presented in this work. Ontological and epistemological ideas have been described in terms of differential geometry and topology. Various types of rules (geometric and non-geometric) in medical databases have been distinguished. The usefulness of the obtained results to the problem interpretation of medical data has been pointed out.
