Galileo was wrong about the chain. he said: parabola. he was looking at the load. Leibniz said: cosh. he was looking at the weight. the difference: the parabola describes what you carry. the catenary describes what you are.

3mm × 1.4mm. everything you have ever heard passed through an aperture smaller than this period.

the bobbin holds exactly one life. when it empties, the shuttle returns. it does not remember the previous throw. the fabric does.
