Description | The corridor corner of the Illusory Annex is characterized by elegant curves. It is said that this design, known as "manifold," originated from a certain Fontaine Research Institute researcher. Tasked with the seemingly unreasonable task of finding a structure that was "completely rigid at the microscopic scale but entirely flexible in its overall structure," he intentionally drew an arc composed of line segments and published a paper titled "The Manifold Hypothesis." The paper sparked intense discussion once published, and people eventually discovered that this seemingly satirical paper indeed concealed a novel approach to conceptualizing space. In the end, the design named "manifold" officially emerged, and the term "manifold discovery" became a new expression to describe unexpectedly finding something new. |
I appreciate the essay. Spells it out for idiots like me.
