A Fine Example...

A complex rope-and-chain example of unknown structural purpose, late 20th C?

Indeed, a very fine and complex example of  Gordon's String Theory (also known in my research as GST, not to be confused with an odious tax of the same name)...Although technically not string, but rather 'rope' and 'chain', this example displays some of the intricacies found in GST structures. Note for example the clever reorganization of the rope structure so that it doubles back on itself to create a 'loop'. This so-called 'splice' is actually a complex 'knot', without the inherent weaknesses of a typical knot. It is probable that this loop was or could be attached to some aspect of the cosmos, and/or has become temporarily or permanently unattached. It is also interesting to note that the rope is still attached to the chain, which disappears into the earth nearby, and may be attached to the iron core of our planet from which it was fashioned. The inherent strength of this arrangement suggests a major function in local GST dynamics, the exact nature of which remains unknown at this time. The study of loops and knots in GST has lead to sub-theories known as 'loopy GST' and 'knotty GST'.

GVRD Park Boundary marker, late 20thC?

A clue to the function of this example may be related to a nearby post which displays a GVRD Park Boundary marker. GVRD identifies this location as being within the Greater Vancouver Regional District. There is some research that suggests that 'Greater' Vancouver is an overblown description (as in 'greater than what'?) for a large (but not particularly 'great') Canadian village which had an unfortunate reputation for being only tenuously connected to any identifiable planet, let alone a universe. Indeed, its location west of the so-called Great Divide has lead some scholars to suggest that the Great Divide in question was that between Reality and Fantasy. The discovery nearby of a large sign pointing to 'Fantasy Gardens' supports this thesis. Note too the synthetic pink string attached to the post but seemingly not attached to anything else. Some scholars have postulated that this string may have been attached to a form of temporary human satellite known as a 'balloon', apparently popular with the frequenters of parks, again for reasons unknown at this time.
