Which outcome arose if a complex Inca `quipu`'s knotted cord tension relaxed unevenly across sections?

💡 Explanation

Misinterpretation occurs because `quipu` interpretation relied on precise knot spacing; the reading of the decimal-based record changes under knot displacement, resulting in incorrect allocation rather than structural durability or color stability impacts. Therefore the meaning shifts, rather than fiber mechanical properties.
