13.6 Orientifold Op-planes

(a) For an O23-plane the two normal directions \displaystyle{x^{24}, x^{25}} can be represented by a plane. A closed string at a fixed \tau appears as a parameterized closed curve \displaystyle{X^a(\tau, \sigma)} in this plane. Draw such an oriented closed string that lies fully in the first quadrant of the \displaystyle{(x^{24}, x^{25})} plane. Draw also the string \displaystyle{\tilde{X}^a(\tau, \sigma) = -X^a(\tau, 2\pi - \sigma)}.

This one is wrong.
