Can someone please for the love of god and everything holy tell me what the heck this is called? I know I've seen it, but where?

Sorry for the photo of the screen, but I was kicking this around on a 3d model website, and it was hard enough to get this angle of the darned thing but I wanted to figure out what it is, and what size it should be relative to.

It's some kind of brace for a horizontal beam, but searching by image does nothing, I've drawn it several different ways, and I don't have many contractor friends/friends in construction.

I don't even know what to call the structure, an arbor/trellis for indeterminate tomatoes is what it is going to be, like in the second photo that isn't mine.

I had this weird idea after rewatching the first couple seasons, and there was something that was just eating at me.

Time. Time and potential.

For example, there are 7B Cronenburgs now that had full lives, future events tied to their specific existences that did not happen.

Why it matters : The Rick that we follow throughout the show, during the Rickshank Redemption, reveals part of the backstory as to what motivates the character, as the actions of another Rick.

This is where I take issue.

That Rick was a collection of experiences within the parallel universe he originated from.

Experiences that if they did go differently because of one key difference setting a domino effect results in Rick Prime not doing what he did, and Rick doesn't have the same motivation.

So, he was the first, does that mean the only? The only forever?

Like nobody from the Cronenburg universe doing anything of cosmic consequence is a far stretch imo with the math of 7.1B over 4 generations even? Even at ~.02% of that number, there are potential futures that have immense consequences for their collective and exponential future, does that make sense?

The idea was a foil, someone who cared about the extinguishing of cosmic future through some grey level morality nonsense like cloning everyone of importance using the genetic recompliers from Gazorpazorp (albeit modified) and placing them in a singular timeline, so the people who would bear the children or be those of influence would be copied and the copies get left behind to get Cronenburged or otherwise rendered deadsies while the originals lived out their usefulness in the new one?

I figure it's one reason he doesn't mess with Time besides the TimeCop Testicle Monsters, but idk, it's probably nothing and I'm overthinking it.

I don't know what this is called and it's driving me crazy

IYO, what's the strongest enemy Rick could take on thematically?
