[PD] slightly off topic - interesting generative/recursive music inspiration

This is interesting, but unfortunately it isn't a correct analysis --
for it to be a real mobius strip it would need inversional symmetry,
not symmetry in time -- the topology of this piece does not match that
of a mobius strip (to visualize the topology of the music itself, you
have to imagine it being written on a transparent strip).  With an
opaque strip, you can actually just write any music whatsoever -- this
would have worked fine with no twists in the strip (and no music on
the inside).
