Let's be structurally correct on this: this is a blockchain emulation using references to blockchain as a precedent concept, AND blockchain's growing acceptance. It's for explaining SignOn's past, not Cryptoknot's future. They're still one and the same in this continuum, and the blockchain model is similar to both, but this is still an art work made to interpret blockchain's moment in time, not blockchain.
My bringing decades worth of broadly distributed rare and traceably scarce physical, durable, absolutely unmanufacturable now, limited production, dated event memorabilia, into a relationship with the 50th anniversary of Woodstock is meant to put these into a narrative on the value of collectibles and move that toward a massively more complex Cryptoknot interpretation of blockchain.

Woodstock collectibles are more attention-getting than any post I can put here to describe a uniqueness that exists solely by virtue of being the most current art form for codifying the structure of the knot, as in the image shown here, measuring systemic reality as a sequential growth pattern, describing two five crossing knots combined together with two four crossing knots that use eight modules of a sixteen module square to grow this continuum up to a unique knot composition that gives meaning to the value of modules 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206 and 207 in the Cryptoknot protocol. These tokenized numbers will never be associated with any other entity but this immutable form of two five crossing knots and two four crossing knots, combined, regardless of what form this may take, and this will always be known by this set of numbers whose origins form one title block in a blockchain that associates it with the cryptoknot concept.
That wording, or something similar, is a sample of the property in a systemic art that embraces the blockchain as a convenience for holding something imagined continuing as that blockchain's entry, as a very specific geometric determinism, advancing into a future, forever, without ever needing to become a physical entity. It is a description of something each different individual writes into the Internet for each new knot that is added to a mystical sequence, on into some distant time from the present, as something owned and enduring.
Obviously that is difficult to understand. This is why these posts here need to set the stage for elements of a back story that http://www.greatknot.com has conveyed in order to play a part in making the ICO of Cryptoknot tangible in its early 2018 White Paper.
SignOn doesn't need the function of an ICO because it already has the three generations that have personally experienced Woodstock festivals. They already have bought in to the value of a concept. This is why they are the gateway to understanding that connects the dots for this “then and now” view of the future.
Memories of 1993, at about this time of year, recall no difference between the blockchain idea of now and a decentralized system of identities, called Non Fungible Token today, described in the https://steemit.com/art/@cryptoknot/the-structure-of-a-continuum-5 post and in Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/michaelsullivan.smith/posts/1169693766520828.
