It’s a nice image—clouds spread out like a soft sheet, and in topology we call that a continuous surface. When you look up, you don’t see any sudden jumps, just a seamless layer, which is exactly what continuity means. The trick is noticing how those “sheets” can still be linked together even when they look separate, which is where connectedness comes in. It’s a subtle but satisfying parallel.

I appreciate that perspective, the cloud blanket is an elegant illustration of how a continuous surface can hide complex connections, it reminds me to keep looking for those hidden links even when everything seems smooth.
