Apologies if this is off-topic, but we're having a problem over on English Language with this question, and I thought you guys might be able to help.
Basically it's a matter of topology. We know the word chirality, for distinguishing between two things that are either identical in all respects, or differ only in their left/righthandedness.
Is it meaningful in mathematics/theoretical physics to distinguish between "inside-outness" and "outside-outness" in the same way? If so, is there a word analogous to chirality to convey that distinction?
I ask here because I know there is debate about the "shape" of the space-time continuum (which I don't fully understand), so it seems at least possible to me that some hypothetical frameworks which are mathematically describable might actually be verbalised using a word such as we seek.
