From a camp trip to a wedding.
About to go camping at Presque-Ile.
Various examples of thumb loop transfers in the string figure literature.
Gearing up for the next term.
The 8th week of classes. SET Magic and Two Trees Variations.
Fifth week of classes. An anniversary. A new card game.
\[ \begin{array}{cc} \fbox{<3\ <3}\ \overrightarrow{1}\ \underrightarrow{2}\ \overleftarrow{3}\ \overleftarrow{2}\!\downarrow & = \overrightarrow{1}\ \fbox{<3\ <3}\ \underrightarrow{2}\ \overleftarrow{3}\ \overleftarrow{2}\!\downarrow \\ & = \overrightarrow{1}\ \underrightarrow{2}\ \fbox{<2\ <2}\ \overleftarrow{3}\ \overleftarrow{2}\!\downarrow \\ & = \overrightarrow{1}\ \underrightarrow{2}\ \overleftarrow{3}\ \fbox{<3\ <3}\ \overleftarrow{2}\!\downarrow \\ & = \overrightarrow{1}\ \underrightarrow{2}\ \overleftarrow{3}\ \overleftarrow{2}\!\downarrow\ \fbox{<3\ <3}\ \\ \end{array} \]
Third week of classes.
A picture of an elegant string figure position from Nauru.
I collected up some cards for from my cardfile related to a topic.
A pair of string figures from Mary-Rousselière’s Les Jeux de Ficelle Des Arviligjuarmiut.
A string figure formed from two loops.
A picture of a heavily pinned string figure.
Converting a calculation from Storer’s Heart Sequences to the Heart Group
An artist’s book about the relationship between string figures and modernity
A physical example of the complicated braid relation.
The canonical start of a linear sequence is a point in nearest LFn string. In this simple example, there are three possible linear sequences (with the correct orientation) but only $L2, L5, R1$ has the correct start point.
This photo has a sketch of an embedding $\heartsuit_n \leq B_{2n}$.
Three loop manipulations are shown. What should we call them?
A quick peek at the braid group $B_3$
A write-up of a question about loop manipulation and braid groups.
Labelled generators of $H_{n} \subseteq B_{2n}$.
