I think they need to go Johnnie Cochran on this question.
"If the rope won't fray, the bot can't play!"
If what you present as rope can be frayed apart at the end by the inspector into individual strands or fibers it's a rope. If it's woven, you should be able to pick at the end and unweave it. If it's twisted, you should be able to untwist it. If sewn, you should be able to pull the sewn threads. If it's tied, you should be able to untie it.
Every single method of holding the rope together as defined in the rules can be frayed apart.
