<div>hi, <br/> <br/>I've just finished putting some work together that may be of interest since it uses topology to explain the mathematics of evolution... <br/> <br/>http://malcolm.mcewen.googlepages.com/themathematicsofevolution <br/> <br/>the earlier chapter on the evolution of the universe is perhaps also of interest since it uses a mobius strip to explain quantum evolution <br/> <br/>http://malcolm.mcewen.googlepages.com/chapterone,thesongoftheuniverse <br/> <br/>any comments?? <br/> <br/>regards <br/> <br/>GM23</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/knottheory">Knot Theory</a> - 8 replies </div>

<div>Hello Knotheads, I come from a tall ship and rigging background and am fascinated to have stumbled upon this tribe. <br/> <br/>There is a knot that is tied with an eye splice substituting for the bight in a bowline on a bight that creates a knot with no end, the eye capturing a hitch(crossing) after having been capsized through itself......</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/knottheory">Knot Theory</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>i've recently gained interest of an old hobby, knot tying. <br/>used to know like 60 knots -- most of them were forgotten due to knot knowing at least a few practical uses for them. i study the Ashley book of Nots and i'm hoping someone may recommend some other books which may help me.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/knottheory">Knot Theory</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>The more I explore tribe.net, the more it delights and fascinates me how many people do share interests I was called crazy for. This one takes the cake! <br/> <br/>Have any of you explored medative properties of tying and untying knots? Reading some of the posts here made me remember how when I was younger I used to tie pieces of chording and string into as complicated knotwork as I could and then undoing the lot again. It did a lot to relax me and give me a sense of order in a stressful situation. I eventually bent to my mom's insistances I'd screw up her strings and chord (unfounded, I've never met a knot I couldn't undo), but now am going to see how it can be used as a relaxation/meditation tecnique. Thanks for the reminder, and I'd love to hear from anyone who might know what I'm talking about here.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/knottheory">Knot Theory</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>Could anyone please relate the mathematics of knots to someone with practical knot experience? <br/> <br/>For instance: <br/> <br/>If I made a bowline with the initial loop as an overhand one, what algorithm would represent it? And, if the initial loop is an underhand one, would that algorithm be the same except negative? <br/> <br/>Do different families of knots have similar algorithms? <br/>Is the algorithm for a Becket bend similar to that of a double Becket bend? <br/>(I’m guessing that it’s not just 2*(BecketBend). <br/> <br/>Please feel free to enlighten me/us.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/knottheory">Knot Theory</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>Howdy, <br/>I just joined tribe.net and found this tribe. I wonder if this tribe is for physical as well as theoretical knots. <br/> <br/>Mike Erickson <br/>member IGKT</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/knottheory">Knot Theory</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Are there any ladies in this tribe from the Philadelphia-South Jersey area who experts or aspiring experts in Shibari or similar disciplines? <br/> <br/>It seems like virtually all the experts are in California, specifically the Bay Area; I'm hoping to connect with someone from my area who might enjoy "showing off" her abilities. <br/> <br/>Seriously, it has been very diificult to connect with someone outside of a professional enviornment; at this point in my life I am hoping to find someone outside of that realm. <br/> <br/>P.S. I'm a writer by trade, if you are an expert I'd be interestd in writing about you. <br/> <br/>Best regards and Happy Thanksgiving <br/> <br/>Cybersport</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/knottheory">Knot Theory</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Sometimes we run into figures that cannot be classified as knots. The Borromean Rings (pic uploaded) looks like a knot, but we no longer have a simple closed curve - we have a group of simple closed curves (three separate loops). This new figure is called a 'link'. <br/> <br/>A link is a collection of knots; the individual knots which make up a link are called the 'components' of the link. <br/> <br/>An interesting fact about the Borromean Rings: If you remove one of the component loops, the other two loops will no longer be connected! <br/> <br/>More to come later . . . <br/> <br/>Namaste, <br/> <br/>David</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/knottheory">Knot Theory</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Had this repsonse to my invite from a member of a related tribe: <br/> <br/>"I'll go on record again with my opinion that esoteric and fancy knots are the least interesting and most optional subject in learning rope bondage. The physiology and psychology of the person getting tied, the interaction between partners, these are the interesting things once some basics about "wrapping the package" are in hand. <br/> <br/>If you love knots, fine. Enjoy your intellectual tangent. If it's a choice between connecting with a piece of rope and connecting with a person, I'll take connecting with the person, please." <br/> <br/>I feel something has been missed, or misinterpreted here . . . and there are quite obviously distinct energies involved with the process that I would like to uncover . . . <br/> <br/>Thoughts anyone, <br/> <br/>Namaste, <br/> <br/>David</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/knottheory">Knot Theory</a> - 4 replies </div>
