For Connecting Principle Nigel will demonstrate an elegant solution of the famous Four-Colour problem which reveals a fundamental structural feature of planar surfaces. So far he has not encountered any reference to this in textbooks on colouring problems and given its effectiveness there is an indication that it is an original discovery.

Following the demonstration there will be a discussion on the crossover between art and mathematics – two different settings for colour, creativity and aesthetics.
