Traditional gatekeepers become irrelevant when the tools are the credentials. Because I can, and this is fucking cool = computational creative sovereignty. Textiles are infrastructure technology. They're how humans learned to manipulate materials at scale, create complex patterns, execute precise measurements, build flexible but durable structures, develop mass production techniques, establish trade networks, create standardized units of value. The fact that we also use them for warmth, beauty, status, and carrying stuff - those are applications of the technology, not the technology itself.
