No I don't think anyone is off topic as the whole idea was to show that thinking in non Euclidean Space can come from the most surprising places. I have always been amazed at the skills of knitters and crocheyers (?). To produce such complicated shapes from a bit of yarn has always made me think that the underlying structure of the Universe must be generated by similar sorts of simple rules that lead to far more complexity that is not inherent in those rules .
