I found a second post by Ellie Velinska (2013) in which she also points out the "multiple-knots" and lacing in the South Rosettes that were discussed in the present thread by Wladimir and JPK:.

My personal opinion about Mark's first two questions (I agree with bi3mw's point of view about the third one):
Yes.
Wladimir has proposed a literal interpretation in the context of tent-like water collectors.
I am not much into grand theories. From what I have seen, the best parallels for the many different spreading / spraying / radiating patterns in the Rosettes appear in cosmological works: some were discussed You are not allowed to view links.

I believe the whole Rosettes diagram has a cosmological meaning (like You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., but with no identifiable Christian content), but I have no definite overall interpretation to offer.
Maybe it is worth pointing out that my intention is not convincing people: images are inherently ambiguous and reaching a consensus is impossible. I was not sure that all were familiar with Ellie's ideas and I wanted to share them because they provide a different point of view from the common 2d interpretations of the SE Rosette.

Yes.
