Physicist here.. what does it mean to 'fiber' a curve?

Here it’s like a fiber bundle (which is like a vector bundle but for more general types of spaces) except there can be some “singularities” or points where some of the spaces are bad. That happens three times in this example - when circles break off / recombine or collapse.

For sure! Say you got a bunch (maybe...a bundle?) of sticks or wheat all tied together, and you want to describe to me. You could break the description into two pieces: 1) the shape of a piece of wheat, and 2) the shape of the cross section of your bundlepic.twitter.com/d46uiwuciM
