I can imagine how doubling the strands up like they do makes it softer and deforms easier
ive worked a little with amsteel 12 strand hollow braid and it is fairly "hard" compared to tenex tec although I havent dealt with them in the same sizes, and I believe the amsteel to have been a knockoff...
1/2" tenex has an 11,300# MBS
Tenex tec is 11,800
otherwise the same rope and handled/spliced the same
I see the single carrier used often for rigging prusiks and never really slings, I wonder why
ok so, TEC is made of 24 strands braided like 12 strand, 2 parallel strands make a " carrier"
the flat and round side just come from the roll its shipped on, you can roll it in your hands and make it round
