His first hypothesis was / is that the mind is made up of strata, rather like an archaeological site - this we call his topological model - First we have the surface layer called the conscious, the next the preconscious and the third and deepest the unconscious.

This projection of a punctured sphere S2 on the Euclidean E2 is not only topological, that is bi-continuous, but also con - formal, that is angle-preserving; and this was already known to the astronomer and geographer Ptolemy in the second century A.D. in his Geography (M.R. Cohen and I.E. Drabkin, pp. 169-79).

The results, published online June 11 in Science Express, show a clear signature of what is called a topological insulator, a material that enables the free flow of electrons across its surface with no loss of energy.

For a given surface, such as a torus or even the (humorously named) dunce cap, the fundamental group is the set of loops in the space that have the following characteristic: each loop can be continuously deformed to one another, a relation known as topological space X, the fundamental group construction associates an algebraic object which describes the set of "holes" in the space.
