Figure 4: An illustration of the Bianchi IX potential (40View Equation) and the movement of its walls, rising toward zero p1 and p2 and along the diagonal direction, toward the classical singularity with decreasing volume V = ∘ |p1p2p3|-. The contours are plotted for the function 1 2 2 1 2 W (p ,p ,V ∕(p p )).
