OK. I think I've got it. It's a way to map a 2D square to 3 dimensions without distorting distance. Is that right?

A simple torus mapping stretches distance in the x direction depending on whether you're on the inside or outside of the torus - and the wrinkles fix this.

(IANAM if that wasn't obvious)
