> maze vs. labyrinth And from a math perspective, they don't need to be any different. A simplistic 2D line maze / labyrinth like those shown can have all the same features, just shaped differently. Secondary false routes, merging alternate routes, shape features designed to disguise routes, routes that loop back to the main route. And the center is effectively the same as reaching the opposite side. As long as routes do not cross, not sure if there's any known features that cannot be implemented in both topologies. That's too far off in math professor land. Notably, Wikipedia appears to agree that most scholars seem to view the idea that a labyrinth is supposed to be the word for a single path puzzle, vs a maze that has any form of "trickiness". There's also a lot of the cultural issues, the article doesn't really touch on. That it's supposed to be relaxing, except most mythological labyrinths were "murder the monsters" or "murder the pyramid looters".
