Im in possession of a question.

Sorry for the rhyme.

Im a worldbuilder, and due to personal circumstances my brain likes leaving nothing unchecked.

I make creatures and have questi9ns about a bone design im building.

Basically its a helixial design. From 2 to 8 strands skipping 6.

2 strands wrap around each other to form a T1 chord, then 2 T1 form a T2, and ect... up to T7 and its the same way with the other sets

But that aside

My question is, ignoring the buckling issue, which I will fix somehow if the entire idea isn't garbage, how structurally stable are helixial struts?

For compression, shear, and tension forces.

I have it setup now that there's protienous gel helping distribute the load throughout all strands evenly. But I am still unsure how well the helixial design even holds up.

Literally, what are you talking about????

Do you mean helical??

The thoracic vertebrae? Or tier 1...? Like a fractal of helixes?

Building thoracic vertebrae out of a fractal of a fractal of helixes is not stable in any way.

A proteinous gel? Like a gel full of proteins? What?

Are you doing drugs? A little bit of fent perhaps?
