The Congeals of Existent

"The major finding
of the present
analysis

is

that residually
compressed
films and coatings

can have
high durability
because of

the existence

of remnant
ligaments
that arise

as a natural

consequence of
the mechanics
of residually stressed
systems" (1)

The congealed
threads of creation
find
themselves everywhere.
