[FRIAM] Manifold Enthusiasts

[Nick Thompson]

Ok, so:  consider a corpse.  Is the skin of a corpse a manifold?  Now. Drop
a shroud over that corpse, is the shroud a manifold?  Now, shrink wrap the
corpse and carefully seal the edges.  Is it now a closed manifold?  

No, huh?  Well, ok.

Nick et al., "surplus meaning" was the term I was misremembering.

Further replies to Nick's further questions later.
