NOTES 1. In Greg’s drawing of the “a” twin the initials are clearly “BP”; in my drawings they look more like RP. I am not entirely sure whether a “B” or an “R” is intended. 2. The combination of exemplars allows for the presentation of complete chainspace models for both twins, without the typical medial gap.
