The Timeless Journey of the Möbius Strip
𓆃
If you were to trace both “sides” of a Möbius strip, you would never have to lift your finger. A single-sided surface with no boundaries, the strip is an artist’s reverie and a mathematician’s feat.
𓆃
The figurative and narrative implications of the Möbius strip are rich: when you try to go forward, you ring sideways, when you try to circle in, you find yourself outside. It’s an apt allegory for losing control.
𓆃
The continuum of crossing a Möbius strip is emblematic of how we experience time in a nonlinear way. Artists, mathematicians and authors explore this phenomenon as well.
𓆃
The unorientable quality of the Möbius strip is perhaps its most distinctive. Orientability can be defined as “a continuous choice of local orientation.” A more colloquial explanation: “a space is orientable if you can choose ‘inward’ and ‘outward’ or ‘up’ and ‘down’ directions at every point on the surface that are compatible: you will never accidentally end up at the same point but with ‘up’ flipped to ‘down.’”
𓆃
In a sense, this is how I feel when people talk about life. What you see depends on where you stand and where you face.
