    @ben_golub I have neither the knowledge nor the vocabulary to engage seriously, but it seems relevant to the (debate-driving, heuristic) version of the holes question that the “thickening” procedure isn’t invertible. What I mean is that an idealized, flat vinyl record (one hole?) also…

      @ben_golub … “thickens” into the topologically-isomorphic torus. Or maybe it is invertible here and an idealized record and idealized straw are actually the same and both have two holes? 🕳

        @ben_golub Though the idealized straw and the idealized mobius straw both “thicken” into the same torus 🍩🤔
