hmmm.... The crochet/yoga angle is an interesting one. Perhaps the yogic prep is key to the outcomes of the hook. Maybe the exercise is no mere pre-stitch warm up, this flexing could be flexing fibres, not muscles, a la don genaro, allowing the practitioners to tap into other realms/dimensions [possibly one of the curled up dimension thought to be universally hidden in calabi-yau shapes], which allows them to execute crochet manouveres otherwise impossible. in short, they may be knitting in more than 3 dimensions, but we 3-D dwellers may not be able to see it. Perhaps this is why you struggled to understand the finely woven structures of your dutch associate.
For my part here, I have been trying to find and/or contact Dan Stairs. I feel he may hold information which may help unravel this whole mystery. Campus-based investigations have led me to discover the daily deliveries of large cardboard boxes, which seem suspiciously light for their size when one observes the delivery men carrying them. Enquiries with the receptionist allowed me to learn that such deliveries are 'for the Knitting Society'. I did not possess sufficient front to begin opening the boxes there and then, so cannot confirm their specific content, but the lightness of the boxes suggest woollen thread [or perhaps pre-knitted structures , possibly to be joined together into yet larger structures] and the amount of them being delivered daily implies a large-scale operation. I shall keep my eyes and ears peeled for possible evidence of their purpose.
The thought now occurs to me that the point of the softness could be exactly that - it is not rigid, but flexible; possibly flexible enough to be bent into space dimensions beyond our familiar 3. Perhaps the soft michigan group are attempting to [or even successfullly] building a new softer world in a new dimension which the average joe is not aware of. I must confer with Epstein on this matter. I am sure Stairs could also shed light on this were he to be found, but would he be willing?

Yogic Crochet & Michelson-Morley
Just going back over a few things… We live in a world of fibres. The Michelson-Morley thing – this was taken as a rejection of the view of mechanised spacetime, whereby the universe is not empty but full of complicated devices, nodes, mechanisms… If there are indeed suggested failings in the Michelson-Morley model, this could be a pincer thrust against the empty spacetime view, in which there is nothing mysterious hovering behind and between atoms; ie. the thruster could be a proponent of a fibrous multiverse theory.
Just the other day I became acquainted with a Dutch yoga practitioner, through a number of mutual friends. The girlfriend of a brother of a friend. After a considerable time spent on various yogic postures and moves in a porch where we were all staying, as dinner was cooking, this dutch girl then went to the crochet, still in her sweat top and jogging cottons. Her hook was very thin. Ultra-thin. I took the chance to get talking crochet with her. I have in my back pocket as I sit here a thicker alternative crochet hook to lend her, but have not seen her again since then. Her crochet book (in Dutch) was full of intricate works, floral designs, motifs. She was working on a spiral form, in soft merino-like light yellow-green. The spiral form looked very complicated, and given the thin hook, was very tight – hard to make out the pattern in order to copy it. It was I think a single rather than double helix, but perhaps a double helix would also be possible. If I can get her to replicate this spiral design using my lent hook, I may be able to get to the bottom of the technique used.
Perhaps where one hook (crochet) yields a single helix, the two sticks of a knitter could double it.
I don’t know exactly how the science and the crafts relate to each other, but I feel a connection does exist. The patterns, threads, fibres being postulated could be the same in each case.
But how does closed-loop technology relate to this?
The yoga postures also seemed relevant. Perhaps the shapes and positions formed were a representation or replication of the types of stitches.
And there’s something about that loose-fit cotton-wear...
