>is there somewhere that actually breaks down the geometry of what's going on? something much more abstracted, based on geometry/topology
short answer: lol. lmao.
long answer: no. still holding out hope on some level that i just haven't found it yet but abundant searching over years has led only to an grudging understanding of the many factors that go into WHY i've found jack shit. fundamental flaws within the system(s) necessarily exist because reasons.
>anons, how the fuck does pattern adjustment work?
piecemeal. non-linear incremental struggle. you piece it together bit by bit and eventually start being able to make sense of the whole. some pieces come from research, some from trial and error, and lots of what's out there can be a waste of your time. it's gay. here's hoping someone else calls me an idiot and directs us to some sort of holy grail that i'm all but convinced doesn't exist.

see >>2555633 for a handful of books geared toward men that are readily accessible. adding picrelated because womens' stuff gets more extensive coverage and at least some of it translates, even if only broadly or conceptually. 1 & 3 i've never been able to find digital copies of but physical used copies are cheap on amazon. the rest can all be downloaded easily enough. 3 & 4 are quite similar; that aside, the 1-5 numbering isn't wholly arbitrary. 1 is invaluable for determining what needs adjusted. it's also not a sewing book at all, which really oughta tell you something. 2 offers scope. it's comprehensive and granular. one or two chapters in the first third of it are trash. the bulk of the material is solid. 3 (&4) offers clarity. it's actionable and direct. it addresses the major stuff that will make the big differences. 5 offers fine tuning. it's methodical and granular. it is not comprehensive. then 6 obv is its own thing. might help greatly, might frustrate you further.
