what if we interpret both spheres created out of the one as:

1. original "terrain" sphere

2. modeled version of the sphere. the virtual "map" sphere.

but because the abstractions are so thick (so to say, pardon the poetic language) — or the recursion so recursive, the "map" of the sphere accounts for it being a map by producing two duplicates virtual copies, one intended to reflect the terrain and the other the map (but both are virtual maps, but this is really hard to 'perceive'/'say' within the formalisms)
