Rug design and music are arts that use symbolic language to express certain concepts with a focus on the idea of unity in multiplicity. The designs of some Persian carpets are based on the weaver’s mind map, which resembles Feldman’s musical approach. Key elements of these carpet patterns correspond directly to Feldman’s use of repetition and symmetry in his works.
This according to “A study on the rug patterns and Morton Feldman’s approach” by A.A. Javadi and M. Fujieda (International journal of music science, technology and art II/1  48–53; RILM Abstracts of Music Literature 2020-3041). Many thanks to Improbable research for bringing this study to our attention!

"Kuchora, kubuni, na muziki ni sanaa ambazo hutumia lugha ya ishara kuelezea dhana fulani kwa kuzingatia wazo la ""muungano katika wingi.""" Miundo ya mazulia fulani ya Kiajemi inategemea ramani ya akili ya mtengenezaji wa nguo, ambayo inafanana na mbinu ya muziki ya Feldman. Vipengele muhimu vya mifumo hii ya zulia vinalingana moja kwa moja na matumizi ya Feldman ya kurudia na ulinganifu katika kazi zake. "Kama ilivyoelezwa katika ""A Study on the Carpet Patterns and Morton Feldman's Approach"" na A.A. Javadi na M. Fujieda, jarida la kimataifa la sayansi ya muziki, teknolojia na sanaa II 4853; RILM Abstracts of Music Literature (1304-1204)." Asanteni sana Improbable Research kwa kuleta utafiti huu kwa uangalifu wetu! Juu, kulinganisha ya zulia kuchaguliwa na vifungu kutoka Feldman ya Crippled symmetry; chini, utendaji wa kazi.
