Overall Design of the ReFactor Loom
One of the first subprojects we’re working on as part of ReFactor is a loom. We decided on a loom partially because it’s a nice, complex piece of machinery with a bunch of different aspects that are tied to the path dependence problem, but also partially because it’s arguably the machine that kicked off the First Industrial Revolution in the 1700s. This is going to be a short blog post giving an overview of the loom as it’s currently conceived, and we’ll add some more posts documenting its progress and the changes to the design that we end up making. As always, all of the designs for these projects are on GitHub. The loom in particular is here .
