I am making a claim of discovery of a new _end to end joint_ ('Bend').
The **Quantum bend**.
It has a remarkable geometry and performs exactly as I expected it would. I found the tying sequence easier after a generous nip of Schnapps.

Oh, I luv it ; and I Love Lucy, who would not doubt say
_"Well, if that's the sort of thing you want,_
_you sure got a good one!"_

(The October 2026 date might find some who'd argue with that.
ditto for the EK.)

Dan,
Is my 'bend' a valid claim of originality?
Could it be published in a knot book?
Could others easily reproduce this 'bend' from the supplied photos?
