Specifically, the thing that exists is a regular homotopy of immersions from the standard embedding to its opposite. The “rules” aren’t supposed to be self evident, they’re part of a broader context in topology

Yeah, basic graduate level math is a lot more useful than whatever you do with your life to warrant such an attitude.

Oh really? Let’s try a thought experiment, shall we?
In Universe A, let’s round up everyone with at least a master’s degree in math and shoot them.
In Universe B, let’s round up all the mechanics and shoot them.
Which one goes to shit faster?

Hmm, standard embedding to which dimension
kogasa@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
R^(3) specifically

Welp, my head cannot comprehend how that is possible. How is it deforming the shape around?
