Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Psalm 139:14 NLT
"Topology is a branch of mathematics that deals with continuity.
Metabolic cycles in a cell are continuous entities and topologically
equivalent to 2-dimensional circles, but since they always cycle over time they are more like three-dimensional helices.
Similarly, the prokaryotic capsule is topologically equivalent to a 3-dimensional sphere,... but it is also dynamic in spacetime so it is more like a 4-dimensional hypersphere.
Because the capsule must always protect the cell contents from the molecular heat storm, but is itself always dependent upon the cell contents for its maintenance, growth and division, it must have topological continuity throughout its history in spacetime." CMI
