Although the creator of mardi gras beads may have not had our purpose in mind, the observation of the interaction between students and the beads prove a different purpose.
The beads exist in their own linear frame, but contain many functions (neck wear, bracelets, shapes on a table). Each person seems to have a different purpose for their beads, and what is particularly interesting is when those purposes combine, when those beads combine to form an extended frame, an interlocking frame.
However, the "purpose" for the students' actions may not be any purpose at all. It may be unconscious actions that can result in the creation of something worth interpreting, or it may reveal the student's true feelings of what the purpose for the beads actually are.
The most fascinating thing about these beads is that I don't believe that it is possible to create the same formation more than once. It can never be duplicated, each experience with the beads is of its own.
This brings up the importance of documentation. Simply describing a formation of beads is not going to give the visual factor that is actually present at the time. Visual art gives an actual look to the experience, and it can create the possibility of comparison between different uses for the beads, and different experiences with the beads.
Are there other similar objects that may be comparable to this experience?
Is the only reason we believe a certain object has a certain purpose is because the manufacturers say so?
For example, a similar experience may be found in yarn, electrical cords, or even some foods.
What do you think?

--this is so related to a problem with scientific study of realities constructed by the mind, an inability to reproduce outcomes
to be able to develop an equation for which realities of the mind can be a solution. All of the variables are not even known, perhaps for now are not yet knowable.
And the mind is able to overcome a solution by thinking it so, and positing that thought outcome in a reality in which that which is false elsewhere is true there;
what is impossible in realities constructed by imagination is not the same as what is impossible in areas science tests and studies; the rules are different.
Many physical laws break down in the mind.
The tools of science are not calibrated to measure or even detect details of the realities that the mind can build,
many of which are lot in transactions in which realities of the mind adapt in order to exist in external tangible realities --versions, approximations of what imagination can make
yet what is not in dispute is the reality of mind, and the curious close relationship between mind and brain, a part of tangible reality in which rational thinking and reality making both reside.
