Definition

Tied-thing-chain, n.. A chain of tied-things.

Comments

A tied-thing-chain can be linear or ramified. Unless otherwise specified, a linear chain is usually meant. A tied-thing-chain models extension, and thus the concept of space. Walking provides an analogue of the linear tied-thing-chain. Some space covered by the left foot is alternately covered by the right foot, and conversely. Tied-wholes-chain refers to the wholes in a tied-thing-chain structure. See Table 7, Tied-thing-chain, and Table 23, Habits.
