Abstract
We investigate the geometry of a quantum universe with the topology of the four-torus. The study of noncontractible geodesic loops reveals that a typical quantum geometry consists of a small semiclassical toroidal bulk part, dressed with many outgrowths, which contain most of the four-volume and which have almost spherical topologies, but nevertheless are quite fractal.
