There is a utube embedded --as found on Numberphile--   on this site with some interesting toroidal twisting concepts.


Here below is s the direct link to the twisted Triplet Tori's and the Japanese, concrete artist who,  discovered at least one original,  toroidal shape.

Depending on the angle you cut, you can have an infinitely large surface area to put your cream cheese on.

Bucky Fuller defined this many years ago via a tetrahedron or any finite, 3D polyhedron as macro-infinite subdivision aka multiplication-by-division. Old news to some of us. The new news is it can occur in special-case manner shown in the utube in message #1 using a via a spiral slicing of a torus to increase the area, --mathematical concept--- tho not in finite, occupied space Universe. Or so I believe.

This is where I differ with Bucky.  Not that he states he believes Universe is micro-infinitely subdividing itself --ergo eternally subdividing--, only that in Meta-space mind/intellect we can state this Meta-space concept.

My dual invaginated, Quantum Space-time Tori are also based on spiral, as delineated by a numerical sequence on four lines, in 2D pattern.
