per Dan Lehman:
The "step beyond" details are the question.
Its not in question in my mind.
The phrase; "A step beyond" - refers to a tail maneuver that differs in character and basic geometry compared to Scotts original concept.
In examining Scotts original presentation - with the tail locking maneuver applied to the Simple Bowline (#1010):
1. The tail performs a U turn around the nipping loop and re-enters that nipping loop between the legs of the collar.
2. The tail then exits through the collar - and follows the SPart on a parallel pathway.
3. The tail is firmly clamped between the legs of the collar, due to the action of the nipping loop.
Seems simple enough to me
Are you seeing something of a different character?
The 3 additional fundamental Simple Bowlines that I advance are of the same general character as Scotts original presentation.
Which brings the tally to 4.
As stated - Scott did not originally post photos of the locking maneuver applied to #1034 1/2 (tail outside Simple Bowline).
But - it is
obvious - and I am confident that Scott knew it was obvious - and so he didn't think it imperative to also photograph his locking maneuver on the #1034 1/2 structure.
I note that you (ie Dan) rarely post any photos of your creations or indeed photos depicting technical detail. Maybe you see the act of photographing knot creations as tedious and/or too time consuming?
Maybe Scott was also time poor - and only managed to photograph the #1010 Simple Bowline? As stated, I am sure that Scott was aware of the existence of #1034 1/2 tail outside simple Bowline, and that his tail locking maneuver could also be applied to that structure.
NOTE:I do not say that there are 8 fundamental Scotts locked Bowlines, because this could be misleading.
There are 4 (within a chiral orientation).
If one wished to assert there are 8 - this would have to be qualified by declaring both chiral geometries - being 'S'
and 'Z'.
I find it tedious and unnecessary to do so.
EDIT NOTE: Refer to my earlier post for photos of the 4 fundamental Scotts locked Bowlines...
