Large Ideas in Small Words

This picture of the Up Goer Five gave me the idea to try to explain some of my work using one hundred or fewer of the ten hundred most often used words. You can use this checker to help you explain your own work in the same way if you wish. Have fun!

The idea behind my work:
There are four-lettered lines in our cells that tell the cells how to work. Usually these lines are found in pairs, but we know enough about the lines to force them to make many different forms. Can we take what we know about the tiny lines and make foot-long lines with two types of hard letters that stick to each other so they take on the same forms as the tiny lines? It seems so! We can build things without touching the pieces themselves by letting forces do the work for us.
