Figure&nbsp;28 shows the other standard way of drawing a venn diagram for such a proposition.  In this ''punctured soap film'' style of picture &mdash; others may elect to give it the more dignified title of a ''logical quotient topology'' &mdash; one begins with Figure&nbsp;1 and then proceeds to collapse the fiber of 0 under <math>X\!</math> down to the point of vanishing utterly from the realm of active contemplation, arriving at the following picture:
