Definition: Maximal Metric Segments
$begingroup$
Recall the definition of a metric segment in a metric space $(X,d)$.
Using the definition 'setup' from the article, two questions come to mind:
Is it possible to extend $gamma$ on the left
$$tag 1 gamma_{a^♪}: [a^♪,b] to X text{ with } a^♪ lt a text{?}$$
Is it possible to extend $gamma$ on the right
$$tag 2 gamma_{b^♪}: [a,b^♪] to X text{ with } b^♪ gt b text{?}$$
Definition: A metric segment is said to be maximal if it can't be extended.
I googled and searched but didn't find this idea anywhere.
Has this been pursued in any way?
or
Are there related definitions/theories involving metric spaces?
