Chapter Five, Do the Twist!

  THE MOBICORIKON Do the Twist!  Chapter Five, and we crochet into Two sides of the Chain to make our strip into a Mobius Twist Crochet a Mobius Twist from a chain In chapter five of The Mobicorikon, we learn to crochet a Mobius Twist from the starting chain. crochet chain 10 as our strip The crochet chain is the skinniest strip possible to twist our strip into a Mobius ring. We start our first stitch into the chain the non-traditional way,  — right handers turn to stitch the righthand track first, from corner B down to corner D. This is to avoid having to chain one extra chain-to-turn. Single Crochet Stitch at 1, then 2, etc, to 10, then connect corners Single Crochet Stitch (See Chapter Three) into the right hand track of chain gaps from Corner B to Corner D;  Twist,  Connect to A with a SCR stitch, stitch down the other chain gap track from A to C,  and connect back to B (keeping the twist.) And you get this This is the stitch-connect, D to A D and A were co...

TOPOLOGICAL FIGURES, OR NOBLE SHAPES by Lucinda Cook

 Topological Figures, Or Noble Shapes /p> In the photos above I am holding this Cook Twist Ring at the same spot! The second photo is a quarter turn to the left. Below is the same Cook Twist, with three rounds of blue added along the one continuous edge.  It is a topological figure with only one side and one edge.  It has only one core gap hole, but effectively and visually it has two core gap holes. My arm is going through the same hole as the hole hanging off the side. Impossible? True. It is an actual topological object. If you search "Topological Figures" on a search engine, all you will see is computer-generated images of imaginary topological objects.  So quantum physicists typically use one-D to draw, represent, and understand an object that is 4- or 5-D.  Hmm, is there something amiss there? How much easier would their comprehension be if they actually got their hands on real 4- or 5-D objects? Or better yet, grew one from scratch themselves? I call T...
