I was curious as to what would happen if I made a
plait of three strings and drew one of them out. I
used a fairly stiff plastic string, poly-something,
and loosely plaited the three strands.
The ends of each strand were marked so that I would
know which one to pull and which two to hold.
I was expecting the two which were left to be coiled
around one another but to my surprise they were
completely separate.
Jones mentioned the structure of DNA. I wonder if
there is some connection.
