I feel as though this could be turned into a Bart-Bonte style flash game. You are shown a configuration of paperclips and rubber bands, and you're supposed to arrange them in such a way that'll generate that configuration on the paper or something.

So, at what scale does this become too difficult to work with? it seems that you could actually do some decent addition just with paperclips in certain positions and with rubber bands to catch them. More videos please!

Now I want to try it with additional loops. The S shape could be doubled on the same length of paper, and additional clips. I have a feeling it'd just jam up (too many points of friction) but you never know!

does the addition method result in a link that is possible for subtraction? I would guess that orientation of the clips during addition might be important if they are to result in a subtractable pair

There's something I really love about people who have a strong foreign accent but speak perfect English. I think that's why I love listening to Tadashi, Zvezdelina, and Carlo.

Brady can you tell Tadashi to do some sort of podcast or asmr shit, I dont even care what he does tbh he could just mumble into a mic for 2 hours and I'd listen to it.

so we have a system that can add and subtract. and there is an or in there somewhere probably. I bet there is a way to make this into a paper calculator for small numbers

Ahh, but is it actually the inverse operation of the paper-clip joiner? As in, is that link the same kind that is created by one of the joining operations?
