Human anatomy

Hello all,
I am a medical engineer who is compiling a new theory of human anatomical design. The new paradigm is based on the topology of the Moebius Band and the Klein Bottle.

Paper modelers of course should be familiar with the simple construction of the famous twisted paper loop. What I am proposing is to build up various components of human anatomy form from paper moebius loops. Two opposite twisted loops form a kleinbottle, which is a one sided suface that mathematicians claim cannot exist in 3D space. These mathematical oddities, however appear to be fundemental components of the human design.

My idea is to build up various forms, such as the hips for example. These designs would be painted as the corresponding anatomical components appear. There are several design challenges involved, such as double sided printing, and perplexing folding and gluing instructions... Anyone interested?!
