Cognitive dissonance hurts, we get an unpleasant feeling, we then want to make that go away by walking away, avoiding, denying, etc. Image A is a familiar torus. If I told you image B is also a torus, you might say "No, and I don't have time for this". If I told you the horizontal line and vertical line on image B were flow paths of energy, you might say "ridiculous garbage" and resume scrolling.

Images A to D showing a familiar round torus, a rectangular picture-frame torus with a barrier and portals made of little circles and squares, air flow, and water flowing upward - flow directions that are not the full story, since flow can also loop back inward and outward.

Image C is trying to use "air flow" and image D is trying to use "water flow" to teach us that something is flowing. One look at water flowing upward on image D, you could say "impossible, stupidity." If I told you that the rectangular shape of image D is also a torus, that it's picture frame is a barrier around the torus, and the little circles and squares are portals through the barrier...

If I told you that the wind and water flow directions on C and D are not the full story, that flow can happen in both directions, inward and outward, and then loop back in, is that TLDR? Congratulations for getting here. Do you feel that uneasy feeling?
