Dan Lehman appears to making a counter-claim
that he also discovered one of your presented knots?
It is not made clear as to precisely which knot he is claiming?
Although Dan had previously intimated that he cares little for 'Academy awards'
and/or recognition of achievement?
In that; there is no recognition or award given to the creator of a knot?
I've illustrated several of these e2e joints,
but am not sure what pushed me in their direction
--e.g., was I aiming for non-jamming structure,
or "riffing" on Ashley's under-appreciated #1425.
What's "counter", here?
It is of some value to understand what paths led to some
knotted structure. Sometimes it's the oops-I-got-that-wrong
path when aiming for something else. Today, in looking over
the particular image of quite "exploded"/open/loose Grapevine
Joint I mentally reversed one crossing and got --and soon had
sketched, lest it be FORgotTEN-- a pull-together joint using
Fig.9s :: might it have a benefit over the Strangles? (I'm
thinking of less rope-flow of the coils of each half.)
The loverly "Teepee" structure looks to be to be quite
UNjammable, and with strong-looking (to my UNtrained eye)
S.Part curvature. But, as I remarked above,
Now, how strong are these sorts of things --is that "lovely curvature"
giving strength, or rather movement->heat->weakness (alas) !?Heavy loading I think will go without much issue;
but cyclic back'n'forth in a tow line, well, maybe
there one would see chafing wear?!
