Defined entry node
Introduce force through a known interface with clear alignment and anchoring behavior.
Engineering Rules
Turn the framework into build rules.
A useful framework must collapse into rules that guide concept selection, detail design, and verification. These rules keep the chain readable, controllable, and durable under repeated tensile actuation.
The rules on this page can act as a design checklist for concept evaluation, prototyping, and platform standardization.
Known engagement condition
Each cell should have an explicit trigger for load reception, lock, or release.
Continuous force path
Avoid ambiguous gaps between intended and actual transfer routes.
Controlled deformation
Permit only those bending or compliance modes that support the intended output behavior.
Traceable output
The useful work at the output should be explainable through the engaged cell sequence.
Reset integrity
Recovery should not scramble prior alignment or induce hidden fatigue into the chain.
