Landmarks of the EarthKnotNFT Back Story
This story begins with an actual Land Art sculpture; The GREAT KNOT; being large enough to be seen on virtual globe imagery. The link here is to a Google Earth Project on how this is the model for the scale and orientation of the grid that all virtual land art EarthKnotNFTs are based on.
The Great Knot is the first in a Genesis sequence of knots. KNOT 0002 puts two of its form together to make the first compound knot. Those same compounding capabilities displayed in KNOT 0003 initiate the conjugation concept that gives direction to a logic of infinite, sequentially ordered EarthKnotNFTs represented in KNOT 0004, KNOT 0005, and KNOT 0006.
KNOT 0003 is the second in the Genesis Sequence. That sequence is the root from which the Great Knot website creates this logic of conjugate forms that branch out to generate the knots that are elemental to the origins of each EarthKnotNFT. In turn, their placement as vitual land art lets creating derivatives of the original EarthKnotNFT's template at different coordinates disseminate their origins across the globe. Examples of KNOT 0003 are at: Spiral Jetty; Little Skellig; Machu Picchu; Angkor Wat; New Grange.
Scroll to the bottom of this pane where a customized Google Maps embed has the entire 1803 survey of the Kingston Commons Division with hot links between each of their locations and the cryptic number-in-Class designation for their first titles to land. This origin story to these titles is analogous to the individual EarthKnotNFTs in that continuous records kept from the 1687 formation as a Commons through these 1,700+ divisions for individual ownership is perfect for building knot data for a blockchain on top of.

derivative CREATION INSTRUCTIONS:
A derivative is an NFT created from a page customized to a different placement of a knot's template to that of its original. An individual with this page builds the derivative's code by tracing the courses of the knot's template using the page's draw function, following the process described here. The code that is produced is authenticated and minted as that creator's property by the DAO all EarthKnotNFT owners are part of, and which produced the custom page.

  1. Observe that knots on this web page highlight their individual shapes when mouse-overed or touched. These shapes are called courses and are traced from a template in order to progressively build the code that creates the EarthKnotNFT derivative.

  2. The transparent template that matches the proportions, orientation and scale of the original EarthKnotNFT's knot is at a location on Earth matching the coordinates of the upper left-hand corner of the boundary rectangle where it is to be placed; ready for each individual shape in it to be traced there.

  3. As its course shapes are each traced, and "finished" is activated, the text with the coordinates the template's dots are over appear in the blank white space (to the right).

  4. Each time a course is completed the code in this space is (ctrl)A; (ctrl)C; (ctrl)V saved to a file created in "notepad" or "notes" for collecting them all together into an operable Javascript Object Notation format. for making the next course the code accumulated from the previous traces is (ctrl)A; (ctrl)C; (ctrl)V - pasted into the white box as an assurance that it works and that the next course created is in the right order.

  5. If this satisfactorily creates the knot when the file is copy/pasted into this same white space and the "Submit" clicked, it may be submitted to the DAO for creating the NFT.
