[+] Wow! A better (and visual/tactile) metaphor for the chicken/egg paradox! |
|
| |
(For a name: "Chicken/Egg McMöbius" strip might also work. Topologically speaking, as you mentioned, they are the same...) |
|
| |
If your idea, [placid_turmoil], is original then it's brilliant. But then that only begs the question: can you make a rock/paper/scissors klein bottle? |
|
| |
Thank you! I can't guarantee that I am the first person ever to have thought of the idea, but I've certainly never heard/seen it before, nor found it on google. (By the way, this page is already indexed on google, amazing!) |

I agree that your name is more accessible, but it sounds a bit like a sandwich at Mickey D's ;) |
|

The problem is that they aren't analogous. |
|
| |
They are analogous in the sense that in both cases it seems like there should be a hierarchical order, but there isn't. The Klein bottle's outside is at the same time its inside. The chicken is at the same time the egg's cause and its effect. |
