Nobody Expects the Spanish Imbrication

Nobody expects the Spanish imbrication. For barrier structures, like around a flux tube or torus, they need interlinking of the little tori, often cross-linking, to give strength, and there needs to be an ability to tolerate tension. From me, expect weird surprises.

From "churning" layouts (image A) I first saw tension, then things like image B. Now I'm suggesting that when chariots go around the circumference of a torus-shaped container, their reins are under tension (C and D) and the message is about the barrier around a torus. The bulls tied to the origin of a tree outflow symbol on G and H, I wondered why are there 3 lines? or why does image I have zigzags? I'm suspecting it's about energy and not literal ropes.

This post is showing that maybe there is more "tension" in symbolism than we thought. People and animals (like J and M) can represent units of energy, aka, torus/tori in symbolism. My previous post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17kvGf3eE2/ was about tension in the flux tubes that suspend a superconducting disk below a magnetic track.
