Comment on Nihilism spectrum

left nostril -> sinus -> right nostril
is another hole. So is
any nostril -> sinus -> mouth.
ears have the eardrum, so they don’t count.
For the more formal definitions of topological holes, look up Betti numbers. What we’re currently talking about is the Betti number b_1. For humans, that is at least 3 (but I’m sure I’m missing many more holes). Unless you’re missing the entire septum.
