Concrete is strong in compression, steel is strong in tension A superconductive disk hanging below a magnetic track is suspended by flux tubes that are "flux pinned". Thus, flux tubes can be under tension.

Concrete is strong in compression and steel is strong in tension, and a superconductive disk hanging below a magnetic track is held by flux pinned flux tubes under tension, while floating above the track the same tubes are under compression and quantum locked. Nature uses these properties to build energy structures we cannot see, so a thin tube or a fat column carries that meaning, and biting at the tops of columns reads as anchoring or holding fast.

When a superconductive disk floats above the magnetic track, those flux tubes are under compression and "quantum locked", meaning those flux tubes resist changing their lengths. Probably everyone has heard some random esoteric explainer say a symbol means "strength", or say corny things like archictectural columns mean "pillars of society". How about this instead: nature uses these properties to build energy structures that we can't see. I'll leave you to make a hypothesis about why a flux tube could be thin like the steel or fat like the column.

At the top of columns image E and F, there is crosslinking, and there is biting, which I am starting to interpret as "anchoring" or "holding fast" onto something. Animals biting is a whole big untouched area of symbolism decoding. Here's a collection, and I don't think it means literal animals or bites. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/biting-animals/
