About this game

I create three-dimensional shapes with closed chains.

It is based on a simple idea: the form consists of elements connected to each other by closed chains. The chains rotate, the elements are mixed - the result is a confused state, a puzzle.

The topic actually touches on fundamental questions of the universe: what does a quark, the smallest particle of the Universe, look like, and what does the largest material object, the Universe, look like? Scientists have not yet answered these questions.

Where science is powerless, there is room for creativity.

Now in the scientific community there are discussions that both the Universe and the quark are closed systems of interconnected events. Objects can have a non-trivial topology and consist of closed loops. If self-similarity is realized in the universe, then perhaps the shapes of the Universe and the quark coincide.

Models have been created in the form of a butterfly, a flower, a donut, and there are combinations of spheres and squares. The forms are tactile and respond to human touch.

The topic may be of interest not only to adults, but also to children. Models in a playful way develop spatial, combinatorial thinking, logic, and intuition.
