The following proposition provides a means to construct a topology by hand, just by providing a subbasis.

Proposition: Construction of Topological Spaces Using a Subbasis

Let $X$ be a set and let $S$ be an arbitrary set of its subsets. Then there is exactly one topology $\mathcal O(S)$, for which the set $S$ is a subbasis $\mathcal O(S)$ it is called the topology generated by the subbasis $S.$
