Abstract: We introduce a functor which associates to every measure preserving system (X,B,mu,T) a topological system (C_2(mu), ilde{T}) defined on the space of 2-fold couplings of mu, called the topological lens of T. We show that often the topological lens "magnifies" the basic measure dynamical properties of T in terms of the corresponding topological properties of ilde{T}. Some of our main results are as follows: (i) T is weakly mixing iff ilde{T} is topologically transitive (iff it is topologically weakly mixing). (ii) T has zero entropy iff ilde{T} has zero topological entropy, and T has positive entropy iff ilde{T} has infinite topological entropy. (iii) For T a K-system, the topological lens is a P-system (i.e. it is topologically transitive and the set of periodic points is dense; such systems are also called chaotic in the sense of Devaney).
