Boxes of knots? --do tell!
My problem started with 1-the many names for knots and 2-the classifications (stopper, loop, binding, bow).Knotting nomenclature is quite a mess, so don't press hard to make sense of it. To my mind, one primary classification criterion is [i]loading profile[/i]: i.e., how many pieces of flexible material are there, and what are the respective tensions (in percentage) on the ends (parts leaving the knot). There are complications/quandries with forging such a classification (e.g., should one regard the ends leaving the knot that join and form a eye of a loopknot as necessarily connected, or consider only the loading of those ends without regard to whether they in fact connet?!), but I think something useful can be made.
So I decided to start with Chapter 2 of ABOK and make every one. ... Bottom line-is there a comprehensive list of corrections or "other interpretaions" of ABOKs? Also next time I get stuck is there someone out there that I can ask?
I have posted a set of corrections to [u]ABOK to this forum a year or two ago, and I think
they should yet be able to be found by a Search. But as far as Chapter 2 is concerned,
I don’t recall there being many corrections for it. So, go ahead and ask some questions here;
you should get pretty quick replies (or sympathy).
