thermodynamics is less obvious (I'd like to come
back to that later), but a drain pipe seems
something which in some sense is a drawing
particularly where in the manufacture the
product is pulled out or "drawn out" -- this is exactly the
kind of spatial operation often involved in
drawing in our sense.
You can certainly have drawing with string,
so one string can be a drawing, so why not
one drain pipe -- where's the difference?
the linear character seems to enable it to be
a drawing in a fairly easy way.
