A Z-rig etc. could be used for tightening with MA. You can use the rig more powerfully though as a means to set the line more rigid to reinforce it for real leveraging the line tight. Which is similar to using a board and fulcrum in some ways; and from that view, can be perhaps more easily seen. It can take some getting used to to see a flexible line as a potential, super long, leverage board i think

These factors are present in any bent line, and could be induced into any stretched one; for or agianst you and task. The numbers can be screechingly high, especially when compounded upon themselves; sometimes they can set against you suddenly. So i think seeing their patterns in the things around you can aid in evaluating rigs and lines for safety and loading etc.

But there are many ways to use this high power leverage, just by tightening the line up as much as possible and bending it; you can get a very high leverage over a short distance. Which can give some easy, powerful solutions to some tasks as well i think.

Here is an easy example of this powerful pattern that can occur in so many ways; used to help things, not overload them; by using the way of the bent line as a tie down.

Though, not a climbing, rigging etc. application; power is power; if this high power can be developed this simply; it can like wise occur in our systems helping or hurting to task. Wherever a line is employed.

The line wants to be straight; it will fight and provide power against the bend in this fight. This easily developed power can set for or against you, sometimes suddenly. Identifying this pattern, or the potential for this pattern; to sift from everything you scan, can show where potential points of leveraged force against you, or how to employ for you.
