Reinforced Weaves
Article © MAIL User: Chainmailbasket_com
This article examines the reinforcing concept. Weaves containing reinforced rings include chain weaves with a cell structure that enables reinforcement. Weaves of this sort are often also ideal for captivation as reinforced rings can be looked at as an alternate in many cases. Instead of placing captive rings inside cages, reinforcing rings are inserted through the otherwise cage rings changing the properties of the weave. A limited number of chains are ideal for this.
Reinforcing also occurs with the Tao and Not Tao series of units and weaves. In these cases, one of two things happens:
Rhinos Snorting Drano was one of the first weaves to incorporate a similar concept to reinforcing. "Rhinoing", however, intersects with pairs of stacked rings, and is seen in flat weaves that wouldn't otherwise be ideal for captivation. One example of a captive weave that wouldn't allow for a reinforced version is Captive 4 in 2 Chain (4 in 2 Captive). Removal of the captive rings and using what would be reinforcements instead would actually yield a Rhino weave because the base weave is 4 in 2 Chain (doubled 2 in 1 Chain). Removal of captives causes weave collapse, and attempting to reinforce this would cause the center rings to intersect pairs of (collapsed) stacked rings.
Some of the simplest weaves to utilize the reinforcing concept are those based off Inverted Round (IR). Just as IR becomes Captive Inverted Round (CIR) with the addition of captive rings, it can alternately be reinforced as Bore Worm (BW), or Reinforced Inverted Round (RIR). Rings added become reinforced once they pass through each of the three rings in the IR cell causing those rings to lean up against each other in a "swirl".
Reinforced Inverted Round is the namesake of the reinforcing concept, however, Bore Worm is the more basic version, since the rings lean in the same direction in every cell. It can be said that Bore Worm should have been named Reinforced Inverted Round, and Reinforced Inverted Round should have the word "Alternating" added. That's a matter of technicality though.
*Note: Bore Worm repeats into the chain sheet Staggered Bore Worm Sheet.
The same concept that is applied to IR can be applied to progressions with added faces. Although "Quad Inverted Round" (QIR) (not in weave library) is a messy unstable entity on its own (don’t let the image below fool you, it takes a certain amount of manipulation to properly configure it), it can be captivated or reinforced. Quad Captive Inverted Round, Quad Bore Worm (QBW), and Quad Reinforced Inverted Round (QRIR) are the results. In order to weave these, the captive or reinforced rings must be larger.
*Note: Quad Reinforced Inverted Round repeats into the chain sheet Staggered Quad Reinforced Inverted Round Sheet.
Quint progressions and beyond naturally also allow for captivating/reinforcing. As with the Quad versions, these require a larger reinforced ring, except with a greater difference with each side-adding progression. Please refer to Inverted Round-based Weave Progressions & Variants for more information and examples.
From the Persian weave family, the very popular Full Persian 6 in 1 (FP6-1) captivates or reinforces effectively. Captive Full Persian 6 in 1 (Captured Full Persian) (CFP6-1) requires a smaller captive ring (otherwise a very high AR is the required ). Reinforcing the chain instead is typically done in a single ring size. Because FP6-1 is four-sided, it has eight entry points through which reinforcing rings can pass. This means there are two different standard reinforcing methods available, each of which has an alternate version in which the entry points are alternated with each added cell. Reinforced FP6-1 weaves are refered to as "Wyrms".
The AR requirements for WW and EW are higher than those of FW and IW.
It is an interesting coincidence that "Worm" (in the case of Bore Worm), and "Wyrm" (Fire Wyrm, et al.) ended up being used in weave names to describe the same concept, unbeknownst at the time.
Adding two more faces to FP6-1 triplicates it as Hilt Chain 6 in 1 (HC6-1). Captive Hilt Chain 6 in 1 (CHC6-1) uses a single ring size for both the cage and captive rings. Reinforced versions of HC6-1 require a larger reinforced ring. Since HC6-1 has 12 potential entry points through which reinforced rings may pass, there are theoretically eight reinforced versions, and even more if you employ unusual configurations like 3-3-3-3. I've developed six versions, based on four of the initial patterns.
Technically, in HSW the reinforced rings only pass through 2, around 2, through 2, around 2, and the openings that are missed result in two proper cage rings found on opposing sides of this chain.
With either of these designs, alternating which rings in the next cell are reinforced isn't technically feasible, so no alternate version of either is shown.
When the reinforced rings in these two cases alternate which rings are passed through in each subsequent cell,
Captivation of Box ([weave=Box Chain]) weave is similar to FP6-1, which is made possible with the use of smaller captives. The theory behind reinforcing Box is that it should also be similar to FP6-1, with each type being made with a single ring size. Both Fire/Ice, and Wind/Earth combinations allow for this, but they are naturally looser. The outside Box rings flop around a bit since they're not neatly tucked in as with FP6-1. Likewise, Byzantine can be reinforced with its individual Box cells in either Fire, or Wind configurations.
Similarly, Roundmaille and Turkish Round can be reinforced.
This chart lists the ARs used to produce the weaves displayed above, and compares the sizes of the cage/quasi-cage rings vs. the captive/reinforced ones. Each sample above contains two captive or reinforced rings per cell, ((C2)/(R2) versions), except Quad Captive Inverted Round ((C1) version). Every sample uses a single wire diameter.
*Bore Worm, and Reinforced Inverted Round, usually use the same size for each ring type. Those displayed are minimized versions.
**Hilt Sun Wyrm would benefit from a slightly larger reinforced ring size ~(+0.8).
Tao and Not Tao units, chains, and sheet repetitions contain reinforced rings. They are either:
Tao 3; Not Tao 3, Not Tao 4, Not Tao 5, Not Tao 6, and beyond have one reinforced ring on each side of a single unit. Upanishad Unit, which is based on NT3 has three sets. Repeating pairs of these reinforced rings are found in sheet expansions of these units. These include:
The individual units found in Tao 4 on the other hand, have one reinforced ring found on the inside, reinforcing its 4 otherwise cage rings.
The rings found in these units and weaves each reinforce their cells in the same manner as those occurring in Bore Worm and Reinforced Inverted Round.

Reinforcing also occurs with the Tao and Not Tao series of units and weaves. In these cases, one of two things happens:
- A single reinforced ring is found in the center of each unit.
- 2 reinforced rings are present with one on each flat side of the unit.
Reinforcing vs. Rhino:
Rhinos Snorting Drano was one of the first weaves to incorporate a similar concept to reinforcing. "Rhinoing", however, intersects with pairs of stacked rings, and is seen in flat weaves that wouldn't otherwise be ideal for captivation. One example of a captive weave that wouldn't allow for a reinforced version is Captive 4 in 2 Chain (4 in 2 Captive). Removal of the captive rings and using what would be reinforcements instead would actually yield a Rhino weave because the base weave is 4 in 2 Chain (doubled 2 in 1 Chain). Removal of captives causes weave collapse, and attempting to reinforce this would cause the center rings to intersect pairs of (collapsed) stacked rings.
Inverted Round
Some of the simplest weaves to utilize the reinforcing concept are those based off Inverted Round (IR). Just as IR becomes Captive Inverted Round (CIR) with the addition of captive rings, it can alternately be reinforced as Bore Worm (BW), or Reinforced Inverted Round (RIR). Rings added become reinforced once they pass through each of the three rings in the IR cell causing those rings to lean up against each other in a "swirl".
- In BW, the reinforced rings cause the IR rings lean in the same direction in every cell.
- In RIR, the reinforced rings make the rings alternate the direction of lean in each cell.
Reinforced Inverted Round is the namesake of the reinforcing concept, however, Bore Worm is the more basic version, since the rings lean in the same direction in every cell. It can be said that Bore Worm should have been named Reinforced Inverted Round, and Reinforced Inverted Round should have the word "Alternating" added. That's a matter of technicality though.

Quad IR (and beyond)
The same concept that is applied to IR can be applied to progressions with added faces. Although "Quad Inverted Round" (QIR) (not in weave library) is a messy unstable entity on its own (don’t let the image below fool you, it takes a certain amount of manipulation to properly configure it), it can be captivated or reinforced. Quad Captive Inverted Round, Quad Bore Worm (QBW), and Quad Reinforced Inverted Round (QRIR) are the results. In order to weave these, the captive or reinforced rings must be larger.

This means there are two different standard reinforcing methods available, each of which has an alternate version in which the entry points are alternated with each added cell. Reinforced FP6-1 weaves are refered to as "Wyrms".
- In Fire Wyrm (FW) the reinforced rings pass through 2, around 2, through 2, around 2.
- In Wind Wyrm (WW) the reinforced rings pass through 1, around 1, through 1, around 1, through 1, around 1, through 1, around 1.
- FW becomes Ice Wyrm (IW), and
- WW becomes Earth Wyrm (EW).
The AR requirements for WW and EW are higher than those of FW and IW.

It is an interesting coincidence that "Worm" (in the case of Bore Worm), and "Wyrm" (Fire Wyrm, et al.) ended up being used in weave names to describe the same concept, unbeknownst at the time.
Hilt Chain 6 in 1
Adding two more faces to FP6-1 triplicates it as Hilt Chain 6 in 1 (HC6-1). Captive Hilt Chain 6 in 1 (CHC6-1) uses a single ring size for both the cage and captive rings. Reinforced versions of HC6-1 require a larger reinforced ring. Since HC6-1 has 12 potential entry points through which reinforced rings may pass, there are theoretically eight reinforced versions, and even more if you employ unusual configurations like 3-3-3-3. I've developed six versions, based on four of the initial patterns.
- In Hilt Fire Wyrm (HFW), the reinforced rings pass through 2, around 4, through 2, around 4.
- In Hilt Sun Wyrm (HSW) (not in weave library), the reinforced rings pass through 4, around 2, through 4, around 2.
Technically, in HSW the reinforced rings only pass through 2, around 2, through 2, around 2, and the openings that are missed result in two proper cage rings found on opposing sides of this chain.
With either of these designs, alternating which rings in the next cell are reinforced isn't technically feasible, so no alternate version of either is shown.
- Hilt Thunder Wyrm (HTW) has the reinforced rings pass through 2, around 2 (x3)
- Hilt Wind Wyrm (HWW) has them passing through 1, around 1 (x6)
When the reinforced rings in these two cases alternate which rings are passed through in each subsequent cell,
- HTW becomes Hilt Lightning Wyrm (HLW), and
- HWW becomes Hilt Earth Wyrm (HEW), neither of which are in the weave library.

- HFW benefits from a reinforced ring AR increase of about 2.6 - 3.0 over the cage rings.
- HTW/HLW, and HWW/HEW require an AR increase around 1.5 - 1.8.
- HSW appreciates a much smaller increase of around 0.4 - 0.8.
Box Chain/Byzantine
Captivation of Box ([weave=Box Chain]) weave is similar to FP6-1, which is made possible with the use of smaller captives. The theory behind reinforcing Box is that it should also be similar to FP6-1, with each type being made with a single ring size. Both Fire/Ice, and Wind/Earth combinations allow for this, but they are naturally looser. The outside Box rings flop around a bit since they're not neatly tucked in as with FP6-1. Likewise, Byzantine can be reinforced with its individual Box cells in either Fire, or Wind configurations.
