# Join paths animated icon

Two open endpoints snap together into one node. Light: the endpoints are drawn toward each other, speeding up like magnets, meet at the shared node with a hit, and the welded node pops once and settles. Strong: they pull back first, then snap together harder and the welded node pops bigger with a rebound. The reverse pulls the joint apart. The arch's feet never move; the joined path holds.
