A global cross-cultural analysis of string figures reveals evidence of deep transmission and innovation

Abstract

Few cultural practices beyond language are as widespread as string figure games. Their global distribution and potential to yield insights into cultural transmission and cognition have long been noted. Yet, it remains unknown how or when this behaviour originated and to what extent shared motifs are signals of repeated innovations or deep cultural transmission. Here, we combined a global cross-cultural inventory of string figures with a novel methodology based on knot theory, which enables the unequivocal numerical coding of string figures. We performed a computational analysis of a sample of 826 figures from 92 societies around the world. Across these societies, we found 83 recurring string figure designs, some of which are regionally restricted while others display a global distribution. The cognitively opaque nature of string figure designs and their clear geographic distribution reveal processes of cultural transmission, innovation, and convergent evolution. Most strikingly, the global distribution of some figures raises the possibility of shared ancient origins.

if u are ever stuck in a story u need to remembr that a piece of paper is quite generously proportioned in the x and y directions. so if you tryto escape a story by living it youll keep going and going a long time and never make it out. but in the z direction it is tightly limkted. so you simply need to stack stories on stories on stories until the page bursts and you r free. scheherazade knew this

#not a reply to prev tags just parallel playing #'you' is just generic impersonal pronoun. because 'one' 'oneself' feels weird in english #i'm rummaging around in my bag for something....here we go!!#looks like this technique works best for a tablet or wall or scroll. one flat thing!#it says if you just keep going through pages stacked youre probably in a codex or manuscript or notebook #if you dont like it there you can just keep bursting through the pages until all that's left is a youshaped hole. funnyanimal cartoon style #but that can make you so tired!!#theres also owen pallett heartland album style where you kill your author only for your author to haunt you in the next album #but you have to give your author a buncha papercuts i think #depending on your author you might 'get out' if it rots or gets waterdamaged or if the author uses it to roll cigarettes #bakhtin style #or if the papers really acidic too eventually #well 'eventually' applies to all of it...

I really recommend the Táin Bó Cúailnge to anyone looking to get into medieval literature because it's a great story, brilliant poetry (I read the Carson translation, and the way he translates the roscada sections are beautiful) and the backbone of the Ulster Cycle, but it's also just really fucking funny. It has a very slapstick yet dry sense of humor that provides just enough comic relief to make the dramatic moments of the story even more impactful. Genuinely I laugh out loud every few pages. Go read it.
