On the geometry of an order unit space

We introduce the notion of $skeleton$ with a head in a non-zero real vector space. We prove that skeletons with heads describe order unit spaces geometrically. Next, we consider the notion of $periphery$ corresponding to an order unit space which is a part of the skeleton. We note that periphery consists of boundary elements of the positive cone with unit norms. We discuss some elementary properties of the periphery. We also find a condition under which $V$ would contain a copy of ${\mathrm{\ell }}_{\mathrm{\infty }}^n$ for some $n\in \mathbb{N}$ as an order unit subspace.
