A Möbius strip is a surface formed by joining the two ends of a strip of paper together with a half-twist, first identified as a mathematical object independently by August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858. It has only a single boundary curve rather than the two edges an ordinary loop of paper has, and it has only one side: an object sliding along its surface returns to its starting point as a mirror image of itself. Like the Klein bottle, the Möbius strip is non-orientable, so no consistent notion of clockwise and counterclockwise can be defined across its whole surface.

Is Kind Of Object
Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.

In mathematics, a Möbius strip, Möbius band, or Möbius loop is a surface that can be formed by attaching the ends of a strip of paper together with a half-twist.
