I very much agree with this.

To go back to Raimar's terminology of sets A, B & C:

I think we can agree that for a given topology in which C != A , if you apply a
"wrapping transformation" to a point in A/B to produce a point in C, you have
not thereby normalized it. You have applied an invalid transformation (even if
the topology supports normalization via wrapping transforms in other
dimensions). "Normal", "normalize", and "normalized" only exist for the valid
transformations under a given topology.
