WHAT IS IT?
-----------

**_A collection of 720 unique three-dimensional knots, metaphysically activated and created with elements of chaos._**

Each 3D-rendered knot is embedded in a perfect feng shui sphere for maximal holder harmony. A four-directional minting process means each KNOT you get is energetically attuned to your aims. X-Y coordinates on the unknot determine a random seed which grants your knot. Additionally, the smart contract contains ancient formulae from a foundational text of Western magic, as designed by the team’s diviner and ritual specialist.

    90 Knot Bodies
    x Four Directions
    x Multiple Qualities
    x Two Sects
    x Varying Ripenesses
    = 720 unique KNOTS
    

_Each KNOT is an NFT represented by a webGL-based interactive 3D rendering, a 350 x 350 .gif, and a 2000 x 2000 .png._

**KNOTS are a new experiment in literary Web 3.** A portion of each primary sale supports queer, trans, experimental and otherwise undersupported publishing projects via Deluge Books and 100% of secondary sales will go to Deluge Books as well. In addition to this, each KNOT ties you into the BURN ALPHA $NOVEL universe, initially launched in 2021 through a crowdfund on Mirror, becoming the first book to be crowdfunded on-chain. The first paragraph of Segal’s upcoming novel is embedded in the sphere surrounding each knot. Stay tuned for further cryptographic adventures through the KNOTS metadata and into BURN ALPHA.

Existing [$NOVEL](https://emily.mirror.xyz/0AFENlMKv9amUC1OJIZY26udpISw_raXkoEcvelPvzg) holders mint for free plus gas.

$FWB and $SCAMMER communities (and a handful of select others) are automatically pre-registered for the pre-sale.
