  Bit threads, a dual description of the Ryu-Takyanagi formula for holographic
entanglement entropy (EE), can be interpreted as a distillation of the quantum
information to a collection of Bell pairs between different boundary regions.
In this article we discuss a generalization to hyperthreads which can connect
more than two boundary regions leading to a rich and diverse class of convex
programs. By modeling the contributions of different species of hyperthreads to
the EEs of perfect tensors we argue that this framework may be useful for
helping us to begin to probe the multipartite entanglement of holographic
systems. Furthermore, we demonstrate how this technology can potentially be
used to understand holographic entropy cone inequalities and may provide an
avenue to address issues of locking.
