uncoiled

Try using OpenCV on some images of stretched uncoiled rope and attempt to segment out the rope if you can.

In the past, when they analyzed only the uncoiled length of DNA, those controlling regions appeared to be far from the genes they affect.

My basic idea is that the hardest thing about programming is learning to consider all the different situations your program might be thrown in. Static code gets 'uncoiled' into many different dynamic 'traces' at runtime.

Twist and ‘writhe’ also explain the counterintuitive ‘roadie wrap’ method for coiling long wires - where alternate loops are reversed, introducing twists, but resulting in a wire that can be uncoiled smoothly by pulling one end - or holding one end and throwing the coil.

But will it have the wisdom to not to employ it?But you are falling into a anthroporeligio trap of assuming the Paperclip Maximizer considers potential paperclips in their uncoiled wire form to have comparable moral status as actual paperclips, once the wire reaches the factory floor.
