>>11284819My guess, having never taken a class, is in topography you get to play with surface area and volume as much as you want, so long as the surface area does not break nor weld(?) with other parts.
At this point I agree, what in the fuck than is the real world application of these mind games. Like yeah, we can all break rules and get 1+1=3
Tho I can see the logic applications of boiling everything down to basic shapes, like a coffee mug is just a toroid. Toroids might share similar manufacturing tricks.
