The discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.
The small knot is tied inside out, though this can be mitigated by giving the tie a half-twist during the tying process. Using the notation from The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie , the knot is tied Lo Ri Co T.
A cable tie (also known as a hose tie, panduit, [1] tie wrap, wire tie, zap-straps, or zip tie) is a type of fastener for holding items together, primarily electrical cables and wires.

Before the use of the intestinal rubber band, thin pieces of metal would be hammered into a wire-like shape. These were called wire-twisties and were used by wrapping it around the item to be fastened, then twisting the ends together.
