The following images serve as an introductory illustration of some alternative framings of "centre" in relation to "hole". They derive from arguments presented separately (World Introversion through Paracycling: global potential for living sustainably "outside-inside", 2013).

The implications of the toroidal features of the images above have been developed separately and more specifically in:

• Comprehension of Requisite Variety for Sustainable Psychosocial Dynamics: transforming a matrix classification onto intertwined tori, 2006
• Enabling Wisdom Dynamically within Intertwined Tori: requisite resonance in global knowledge architecture, 2012
• Experience of Cognitive Implication in Fundamental Geometry: unexamined metaphoric framing of strategic discourse, 2012
• Implication of Toroidal Transformation of the Crown of Thorns: design challenge to enable integrative comprehension of global dynamics, 2011
  

The images below -- intertwining two tori -- are suggestive of the implications of "going down" any "cognitive "rabbit hole".

	Blue torus has a wheel-like dynamic in the model
