Möbius
Loop with twist
Möbius refers to the German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius, best known for the Möbius strip—a surface with only one side and one edge, made by twisting a strip of paper and joining its ends.
The name appears in mathematics and topology: Möbius transformation, Möbius function.
Figuratively, Möbius suggests something paradoxically continuous or self-referential: The plot loops back on itself in Möbius fashion.
