thread · material
a slender strand formed from a small portion of material, capable of being drawn through openings to bind parts
Examples
- Nylon thread sews Kevlar layers in bulletproof vests at 120 stitches per minute. engineering
- Spider silk threads anchor webs between oak branches in morning dew. biology
- Tailors in Dhaka use cotton thread to stitch garment prototypes for global brands. economics
Emergence
through: material, small size, and piece combine to form a thin, continuous strand that can be placed through an opening to connect parts
- continuous linear form
- passage through openings
- binding function
