Field notes & catalogue basis
How does the loom organise repeated structure and named geometric forms?
This volume follows repeated structures built through more complex loom patterning: named eyes and seeds, curving forms, wedding characters and relief surfaces.
Figured, treadle-figured, double-sided and waffle/honeycomb records remain distinct. Pattern names are attached only where naming evidence exists.
This v3 book is an editorial research route. Object-level technique, dating and provenance remain on each textile record; pattern-name provenance is stored separately in the Pattern Catalog.
