Topology
Topology refers to mesh-based 3D models, and is the way the individual polygons are meshed together into a 3d grid, with each polygon shaaring a dividing line with each of it?s neighbours, until the mesh encloses a hollow 3D shape. The polygons flow in this topology around the contours of the shape, each flat plane forming part of a curve.

Creating Polygonal Shapes through a Merger with Topology
By merging the traditionally distinct fields of topology and geometry, through the discovery of a new type of mathematics called persistent homology, math researchers have created a set of equations which simply describe the pattern and placement of complex fractals as part of a polygonal model - such as the unique froth on a wave, within the reach of
