That manifold is a torus - you can walk in circles by walking West-East or North-South, each of which repeats every 1 distance unit. If you walk along the diagonal you get a repeating path every 1.4 distance units. All "great circle" paths (straight lines on a manifold) on a sphere repeat every 1 unit of distance. |
