BUTTERFLY KNOT (#1053) - Technical paper

[KC1]

By “eye loading”, you mean what?
(Every eye knot should be this, by one sense;
there’s another loading established as “ring loading”.)

.
i think we need to leave room here for eye not being loaded;
as a continuous flow SPart to SPart,
but isolating weak section.
Or mostly unused handle etc.
.
Then we have extra turns frictions as path too with this:

When I tie the #1053 Butterfly I use the three coils on my hand method.
I suggest trying four coils using the same method (or any method with the same result.), passing the coils over three times and then through them all.
Using climbing rated rope and cords I have not been able to jam the loop after loading in any direction.
I haven’t tried itty bitty strings of soft materials.
It seems that the additional turn within the nub adds sufficient bulk to offset jamming.
