The hypothesis seems to be that processing across a discontinuity is costly.

  Once you cut the person in two halves, it's easy to map the half to a plane. Imagine a sphere. You cut it in two halves, and you get something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolosi_globular_projection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolosi_globular_projection and use a scissor to cut it in the middle. Now imagine the initial sphere is made of rubber and it contracts to a body glove thigh around the person. There are no discontinuity inside each half. Just a huge discontinuity between the two halves, but each one is processed by a different side of the brain anyway. The projections in each half can be made in both orientations, the one that is like the skin and the mirror one. The non-mirrored is difficult to wire, but the mirrored one is easy to wire. About the discontinuity, there is a huge discontinuity between the two sides of your body that are processed by the two sides of your brain, and you don't notice it. Moreover, in each eye, there is a discontinuity because each half of each of your eyes is proceed in a different side of your brain https://www.quora.com/Which-side-of-the-brain-does-the-optic-nerve-connect-to-from-each-eye https://www.quora.com/Which-side-of-the-brain-does-the-optic... With that hardware I expect to see a black vertical line in the middle of my eyes, but the transition is quite smooth.
