The purpose of this paper is to introduce a generalization of metric space that arises naturally out of the notion of signal function as it occurs, for example, in (5). In §§ 2-5, the basic definitions and motivation are given. In §§ 6 and 7 several elementary topological properties are proved, and in §§ 8 and 9 an important example from special relativity is developed.
