glosses: An abstract object in topology where copies of one object are "attached" to every point of another, as hairs or fibers are attached to a hairbrush. Formally, a topological space E (called the total space), together with a topological space B (called the base space), a topological space F (called the fiber), and surjective map π from E to B (called the projection or submersion), such that every point of B has a neighborhood U with π⁻¹(U) homeomorphic to the product space U × F (that is, E looks locally the same as the product space B × F, although its global structure may be quite different).
