Mirrored primes
the digit torus & its orbifold

The two-digit numbers as the discrete torus (ℤ/10)². Reversal is the reflection (a,b)→(b,a); folding by that reflection yields the dyad orbifold — a Möbius strip whose single edge is the palindromes. Each emirp pair becomes one point.

emirps — 13 17 31 37 71 73 79 97
palindromes — the mirror's fixed edge
dead edges — 19 91 39 93 (multiples of 13, 31)
digit-sum-9 band & the 5-cycle attractor
difference-5 pairs — the strip's core
digit sum ≡ 0 (mod 3) — emirp-free
