Bicycle
Frame and tyre branches are provisional. Aluminium, carbon-fibre and other frames differ; spokes, drivetrain and other components need evidence. Add battery/electronics for an electric model.
What is it made of?
These are material branches to check against the object’s label or specification.

03 · MATERIALS BECOME AN OBJECT
Made, part by part.
Each material takes its own processing route before the parts are shaped, finished and assembled. Open a material branch for its documented transformations. The exact assembly sequence needs a model or manufacturer record.
Steel
Ore-based iron and recovered scrap feed steelmaking. The metal is cast, rolled and finished; the product then requires its own forming and assembly steps.
Rubber / elastomer
Natural or synthetic elastomers are mixed with other ingredients, formed and cured. The formulation and forming method depend on the product; a tyre recipe does not establish a shoe recipe.
