Potentially new knotting pattern for Quick Deploy applications.

Hello IGKT Forum
I am a new member to the forum and soon, to the IGKT. Other than pursuing further knowledge in knotting, I am also here to gain insight into a knotting pattern that I feel that I may have developed. It is not so much a knot per se, but more of a pattern of interwoven loops that create a quick deploy structure that can allow the knotter to pack a large amount of cord into approximately 1/5th of its total length?I was able to pack about 16? of cord into a 3? space.
I feel that it is a very practical application, far more practical than simple overlaid square knotting and other such ways of storing a large amount of cordage that has to be manually untied prior to use.
Although the set up can be tricky, I have also had success employing it as a wrap as well and find it much more secure and symmetrical than other quick deploy wraps--However, it does suit rectangular applications best.
The knotting pattern was born out of my attempts to find a quick deploy key fob design. In my searching and both not being satisfied, and experimenting on my own, I feel I have created a unique approach; one that I have not personally run into in any book nor online in my two months of research.
So, I ask you, IGKT forum, before I submit the tutorial, am I in the right place?

Hello Rich5370 and welcome.
I'm interested in the tutorial.
Perhaps later after some discussions, etc., we can move it to a more rightful place. Right now it is an investigation.

I have included a link to a PDF tutorial for the Quick Deploy pattern.
I feel that I have created this pattern. I have not seen it anywhere. I expect and appreciate any and all critique.
Thank you.
The PDF is 3MB and is Too large to attach to the post.
Please go to the link below and you view/download it directly from my dropbox account.
