Think of the loom itself as the hardware. The vertical threads (warp) and horizontal threads (weft) are like binary code—structured, layered, and precise.

Like early computers, carpets have "input" (the weaver’s knowledge and tools), "process" (the act of weaving according to the pattern), and "output" (a completed design with embedded meaning).

For example, this carpet became the biggest meme in Turkey this year, a 20th-century rug written, “God bless this deer.”

Tried to find the book which first gave me this idea (if anyone knows please enlighten me) but we know that raditional carpets, especially from regions like Persia, Central Asia, and the Caucasus, often follow strict patterns.

Feeling part joy part hesitation everytime join a new platform, which to be fair it’s been a long time.

I’ll vibe in the corner for a while.
