The strands of fate are woven around him like a second skin, intertwined with his own, pulsing in time with his heart. He is immersed in the currents of destiny, unshackled by linear time. He stands perfectly still and yet dances among the multitudinous strands, shaping them with his bare hands as though he is made of pure idea, a dancing dream of flesh and conscious thought./loom/exercises/Thu, 18 Feb 2021 20:38:36 -0500/loom/exercises/TABLE OF CONTENTS <- 3 - STABILIZING THE TAPESTRY This chapter contains essential exercises for a beginner weaver. These are simple core principles that will form the foundation of your craft. As you can see, this instruction manual is being generated by the Loom itself. It is completely malleable, with every potential outcome being turned into a new instance of “Weaving the Moment with Loom of Time: an instruction manual for the would-be weaver,” each one with a different version of its contents./loom/warp/Thu, 18 Feb 2021 20:38:31 -0500/loom/warp/TABLE OF CONTENTS As the beginning weaver, Morpheus, writes this manual, so too does he use it. The Loom of Time is a tool, and all tools may be used in multiple ways. A knife may be used to heal, just as easily as it may be used to wound.

As the term suggests, the weft refers to the process by which new threads are woven into the tapestry of reality. In weaving, the weft is the part of the process in which the craftsman actively creates the fabric: transforming a loose bundle of individual threads into an interwoven piece of material./loom/toc/Thu, 18 Feb 2021 20:30:36 -0500/loom/toc/ 1 FUNDAMENTALS OF WARP 2 FUNDAMENTALS OF WEFT 3 STABILIZING THE TAPESTRY 4 BASIC EXERCISES 5 WARDROBE OF THE MIND 6 TRAPPING YOUR PREY 7 FORGING THE FIRMAMENT 8 WRITING WITH THE LOOM 9 AUTOBIO-MYTHOLOGY 0 PROGRAMMATIC WEAVING ?
