Kummer-Fresnel Surfaces and Propagating Discontinuities

The concepts of Fresnel surfaces, Dupin cyclides, Kummer surfaces, and Clifford algebras are all intermingled. The fact that electromagnetic signals (propagating discontinuities in the sense of Luneberg and Fock) are elements of this comingling suggests that EM theory in the format of Cartan's calculus can lead to a deeper understanding of these ideas.
