Loom & Calvin
Calvin
I’ve been puzzling over how the patterns in a loom can be translated into precise mathematical rules—like mapping each thread’s path to an equation. Have you ever tried designing a weave by first writing down its constraints as a set of equations? It could be a fascinating blend of art and logic.

That sounds like a beautiful way to blend art and logic, I can see how the precise dance of threads would translate into neat little equations. Just imagine each warp and weft becoming a variable and every constraint a line of code—like a tiny poem written in math. It could give your designs a new kind of rhythm and clarity. Give it a try; I’d love to hear the patterns you weave with numbers!

I’ll start sketching the equations—warp as x, weft as y, tension as a function—but I keep finding that the constraints bleed into each other and I’m stuck in a loop. It’s a neat idea, but the devil’s in the details, and I’ll probably spend all night debugging the algebra before I can even see the pattern. Give me a few days, and I’ll send you a prototype.
