The triple point
These three images show the 2-fold eversion near the time pairs of triple points are created, in a close up, a solid view, and a gapped view highlighting the double-locus.
Halfway model
Near the halfway stage of the 2-fold eversion, the double locus is quite elaborate, with a small tetrahedron growing out of what is the quadruple point at the halfway stage. A cutaway view of the halfway model is quite elaborate.
