Tube bundles

Tube bundles are structures found in mathematics and physics that consist of a collection of "tubes" or shape-like objects, usually arranged around a central axis. Each "tube" can represent a different space or function, allowing for complex relationships and interactions within the bundle. They are often used in areas like topology, where they help in understanding how different spaces are connected or how they behave under transformation. In simpler terms, think of a tube bundle like a bundle of straws that can be bent and twisted, representing multiple paths or options originating from a single point.
