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 Topological fig

COOK TWIST, AND MORE COOK-MOBIUS CROCHET?

  Cook Twist                A Cook Twist.  One side, one edge, one core-gap hole, but two effective holes!  A topoligical figure. All photos copywrite by author, Lucinda Cook.

The Mobicorikon, (a manual for crocheting symmetrical four-dimensional objects with the Cook-Mobius Method) has moved to a new place.  You can find, and listen to, my uncensored and continuing blog now by using the link above, Cook Twist.
