Enhaut, after seeing your marvelous tying step illustration, i realised that it was exactly how i had tied in the bight, when i reverse-engineered the structure in the first place.
Of course, Alan Lee's double twist method is awesome too, plus it resembles somehow, with one of the butterfly tying methods.
Rearranging the eye legs (to follow 1051 style), and presenting a slightly different loading profile of your knots, does not make me an inventor, more like a user of your innovative ideas.
The inline profiles, appear to be quite compact in this form, however, the end termination profiles, technically, have been banished from the bowline zone, by pushing the third rope diameter out of the nipping loop.
Nonetheless, i see that there is plenty of versatility, as one may develop, several end of line configurations, (including the Eskimos), by using the complex link, as an SP, or a WE, or even an eye leg continuation component, depending on the application. That's what i like about TIB knots
.
Now, let's try a different technique, by implementing the rule
" first collar then turn", the exact opposite of the previous approach, which was
" first myrtle turn then collar", in order to keep the (end of line) knots, in the bowline zone.
Pretty stable resulting knot, with no overhands and two lines of defence against slippage as previously, but that doesn't ensure jamming immunity right up to its MBS yield point.
