+Seeing how these words, interpretations of a physical object were so different to each other was transcendental. In this thesis, I am excited to share my understanding of knots with you. My three words for knots are resistance, imagination and infinity. Keeping these in mind, I experimented with certain reading modes as you will see later on. -Knots are known to be used 15 to 17 thousand years ago for multiple purposes. These purposes -were often opposing each other.

Essentially, this diversity is what got -me interested in knots years ago and since then, I have found ways to implement this “loop of -thought” in my daily life and research methods. - -There are two main reasons to why I chose to write this essay in a “knotted” format. One is that I -would like to share my process and progress of research on this project and this involves “thinking -with an object”, in this case types of knots. In Evocative Objects, Sherry Turkle, who is a sociologist -and the founder of MIT initiative of technology and self, refers to the object in the exercise -of thinking as emotional and intellectual companions that anchor memory, sustain relationships -and provoke new ideas.

I believe so… - -What if instead of a slip knot a Bowline was on the string, would that represent something else in -the story because of its usage in practice. A Bowline is commonly used to form a fixed loop at the -end of a string; it’s strong but easy to tie, untie. Due to these qualities, we can imagine the bowline -to represent the conclusion in a story. What if we have a Square Knot, how would that change the -course of a narrative? Square knot is used to bundle objects and make the two ends of the same -string connect. From just this, we can use it to represent the connection between the beginning -and end of a story.
