The artifact is constructed of 48 Basal Stalks connecting the surface of Savalle at the equator to Cocoon. Cocoon is then made of 432 hollow filaments that wrap the entire planet which are between 2 and 4 kilometers at their exterior radius (no two filaments are the same). The structure is constructed of superstrength polymers, such as are found in many artifacts. The forces required to hold the structure in place are not beyond current science. The best computers available, however, could not solve the optimization problems involved in constructing the artifact. The Builder artifact Elephant was used to attempt the required calculations and came up with a limited solution after 4 standard years.
