Letters queue top to bottom while a rope of blue-and-gold strands winds through them, swaying as each glyph dissolves into the next.
A letter outline sits at the top of the frame and another at the bottom, with a thick rope of blue, gold and cream strands braided between them over a faint grid.
Seventy-seven intermediate outlines are interpolated down the vertical run, and every stage's horizontal position is pushed by a six-plateau sway schedule sampled at noise-staggered times — different depths of the rope lean at different moments, which is what braids it rather than bending it as one sheet. The palette's phase is itself eased over the loop, sliding the sheen along the strands, and the start, middle and end outlines are closed and filled with a translucent blue.
