page 571 - I didn't add commentary to the previous post because I knew this diamond pattern was upcoming and I didn't have anything to say about it aside from the fact it is a diamond pattern.
I wasn't going to comment on traditional Economian textiles whose patterns symbolized auspicious signals in the data. Certainly not on how wealthy families would pay to have their personal historic data woven into fabric. And not on the class differences that saw poorer families happy to get fabric with any lines at all that could be construed as having an up and to the right lean.
Instead I was going to comment about how a stylized simplified horse, alienated from the show jumpers of our youth, is what we can all hope to find on the Olympic broadcasts of the future. Why ship a horse to Saudi Arabia so it can be filmed leaping around a course in the desert when you can have AI generate an lifelike portrayal of a horse leaping around a course in the desert or perhaps some outlandishly coloured Mario Kart fever dream course a real horse would be terrified to enter. But really, why pay for the compute needed to generate realistic horses when you can minimize the bytes and up the profit by rendering the horses as simple line forms. Horse over fence, line over line, same same. People love the Olympics and will happily watch, this summer on NBC!

Turbo Facts: Why is a ‘Sec’ called a Second?
A second is called a second because it’s the result of the second division of an hour by 60.

Babylonian scholars developed a numbering system, based on groups of 60, which led to our 60-minute hour and 360 degree circle.
Signs and Symbols by Mark O'Connell and Raje Airey I've always wondered where the 60 minute hour came from! Now I know.
vuorokausi (vrk)
Noun (unit of time)
A day (period of 24 hours).
A day (period from midnight to the following midnight).
A day (rotational period of a planet).
Etymology
vuoro (“turn”) + kausi (“period”)
