In a world where everything is virtually accessible, the tangible becomes highly appreciated. When the tangible is over abundant it is treated as the virtual. When the tangible is as accessible as the virtual, but scarce, it has the value of the holy grail.
The legends of the holy grail, the golden fleece, King Solomon's mine, and, yes, the untying of the Gordian Knot, are about quests after value. In this case the knot is taking this quest trope from a narrative into the blockchain as an aid for visualizing it in this continuum of the quest.
The popularity of the blockchain narrative's relationship to Bitcoin mining is perfect for fitting this knot quest into the contemporary zeitgeist. Blockchain technology has opened the door to contemplating value as something found in an immutable identity.
The previous illustrations, and the one in this post, explain well how this quest concept gives the world tangible scarcities. In the five crossing knot combined with one three crossing knot pictured here, three of four modules in a square identify this unique knot composition with the value of modules 133, 134 and 135 in the Cryptoknot protocol. These tokenized numbers will never be associated with any other entity but the immutable form of this five and three crossing knot combination and it 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.
These conceptual aspects are found in the White Paper of http://www.greatknot.com where it covers the protocol that formalizes this art into a process that continues growing knots forever. As the combinations illustrated in this series of Steemit posts, on the context of this continuum, are examined, a revolutionary new value system will unfold.
