Abstract
It is in the torus topology that a possible answer can be seen to the philosophical problem of the individual (or part, or microcosm) versus the collective (or whole, or macrocosm). In a toroidal universe, a part can be seemingly separate and yet connected with the rest.
The torus provides a paradigm that permits us to see a monad as both separate from the rest of the universe and still connected to everything else through the core.
