Index Entry
The Moebius Strip is made by joining the ends and is therefore not a ring, but a curved back line with two sides, 2 ends, and 2 surface faces, equalling 6 faces, and is not, as alleged, a one-surface structure. Whenever cutting or joining is introduced, complex structures occur. That is, the hole may be filled with a primary structure and therefore all the structural events of the surrounding ring are second-layer structural emergences of the primary structure.
If you split the Moebius ring-strip, as is well-known, it opens out to make one big ring. But if split again it (also?) makes a Figure 8 of 2 rings, and successive splitting creates more rings; so this first split and continuous oneness was simply a product of the twisting of a strip and joining its ends-- (notice?) it might untwist when split to provide two strips. When 4 ends are joined -4- in which one reverses the twist of the other as in all (cases?)-- articulation of twist and countertwist, etc. The mathematicians by their pseudo-escape to abstraction from a now necessity often get to kidding themselves. They do not understand an hierarchy of events. At any rate, Duncan, keep this letter as I have not put this on paper before, though I have been thinking it and talking it for a long time.
