Gravity seems to yield unequal results.

Here is an idea that i cannot prove. But interesting.

The reason i would like to see this configuration is because it would take alot less work to lift the middle weights back up, once they have the seemingly additional potential of m2 and m3, which would assist the middle weight to go back up. I know it would take significantly less work to return the middle weights back to the top, now that there is a seemingly surplus in potential from m2 and m3. So the falling weight would be less impacted to push it back up in a vertical direction, especially since cscx has the asymptotic behaviors with the changing angle. Remember that this would be considered a vertical lift. I will try to find an integral that would suit the work needed to lift the middle weight up vertically, with the assisting vertical vector components of t1 and t2 from m2 and m3. If its equal, than the function is just confusing. If nothing else, it may make a cool see saw. Or a carnival ride .

and please, if anyone is good with physics simulation software, i would love to collaborate on a model of this.

A cool result i noticed with varying outside weights is the, oh shit, we weigh more then him affect. The middle weight would fall so far, lifting so much mass that it would pause for a moment, then readjust the middle weight back up to a tension equal in magnitude with respect to theta. This only took place when the outside weights sum was more than 1.5 times the middle weight. I am aware of elasticity, but this looke slightly different. It was an abnormally long pause that took a while longer to reconfigure than expected. Almost like the outside weights themselves were the main force that was spinning it bqck up, to reach equalibrium. But it seems as though equilibrium would have allowed no movement at all. In almost all other work, torque, tensions ,relationships i have observed. And if there was a difference in weight, it would appear as a mechanical advantage trade off. i move more less distance etc etc. Not, i move more the same distance, then confuse myself as to what just happened.
