Thanks. Doesn't help me understand it (nor do any of the above comments) but does help me see it.

So, appalling scam aside, everyone knows what a Klein bottle is or what it does? First I've heard of it, and neither Stoll's site or the Amazon listing shed any light on the topic...just in-jokes.

This is great, especially the SF example as it reminds me of Brian Lotti's paintings [1] A common technique for painters is to establish areas of colour in the scene that are similar even though the eye perceives them differently. For
