Understanding Paper Object States

The video tutorial demonstrates a paper object that transitions between two states. Initially, the object cannot transition due to physical constraints. However, a surprising transition is shown with eyes closed, and then explained with eyes open. The concept of reversing orientation in a torus is introduced to explain the transition.

What is the initial state of the paper object called?

• Third state

• First state

• Second state

• Fourth state

Why can't the paper object transition from the first state to the second state?

• The paper is too small

• The paper is not flexible

• The paper is too thick

• The paper is too heavy

What material is suggested as an alternative to paper for flexibility?

• Plastic

• Metal

• Wood

• Rubber
