Thanks for the essay! Your emphasis on the source domain of Wittgenstein's metaphor, on actual spinning, got me thinking visually. This diagram came out :) pic.twitter.com/nXVP92r6hU

Thanks! This got weirder: playing with logic gates because of @MarkChangizi's visual experiments led me to truth tables (which Wittgenstein popularized!). With black/red threads in my head, what came out is remarkably textile circuits, up to adders.

No other sphere of life has provided so many metaphorical terms than the making of cloth. Even "list" was originally a textile term.

Yes! @vpostrel, one of my favorite writers, is writing a book reappraising textiles as THE technology. It's finally coming in fall 2020: The Fabric of Civilization - How textiles made the world. Can't wait!
