An age-old search for the ideal marriage of form and function is addressed by treating art as capital. Art distributes a measure of its value to the system that created it in the accessibility of the system to the art's identity. The recent transaction of a Di Vinci work makes this point.
The art of the knot is about the continuous creation of such scarce identities. This gives the concept of capital an access to a uniquely appreciable measure of value never tried before.
The world's issues with the present concept of capital is not with it having too many identities for value. It is in not having a trusted system for containing them.
Imagine a knot identifying a Rembrandt; and another a Picasso; and untold others identifying other individual artistic treasures; and the ownership of each of the knots that identify these treasures identified as a title in a decentralized way, on the Internet, that is represented as a set of numbers that are a knot which is as scarce as the work of art it is entrusted to represent. This concept of a caretaker identity that stems from a protocol set out in a White Paper on http://www.greatknot.com represents a new relationship to what capital is.
Imagine that this is the use of what is Illustrated here for the seven of the nine modules in a square that identify a unique knot with the value of modules 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114 and 115 in the Cryptoknot protocol. These tokenized numbers will never be associated with any other entity but the immutable combination here of four four crossing knots combined with four three crossing knots that make the single knot that will always be known by this set of numbers whose origins form one title block in a blockchain that continues forever.
As the forth of six combinations with three crossing knot additions to a four four crossing combination, this series is formalizing an obvious Cryptoknot structural requirement for capping every open loop to make every knot end its combinations before, in this case, the necessity for a single five crossing knot; the next-in-sequence; is added to the progression of combinations.
With this the form and the function of the systemic art should be becoming obvious.
