Talk to me about bread

So why kneading? If I knead more will it rise better? If I prove it, knead it again, prove it again, will it rise better? What's going on? How does it work? And is there a way to make Linnea do it?

I can't speak to anything more coherent, but I noticed at one point when I was kneading some dough that the texture went through a dramatic shift to a much more coherent and elastic state.

I think it has to do with elasticity, as a result.
