The author offers a commentary on the article "The Sagnac Effect and Pure Geometry" published in the "American Journal of Physics." He discusses a special one-dimensional (1D) limit of the example given in the article, the determination of the Sagnac effect, and finding on the two-dimensional (2D) closed paths that are topologically non-equivalent to the cylinder given in the article.
