An artist’s book about the relationship between string figures and modernity
A physical example of the complicated braid relation.
The canonical start of a linear sequence is a point in nearest LFn string. In this simple example, there are three possible linear sequences (with the correct orientation) but only $L2, L5, R1$ has the correct start point.
I’m working with Eric Vandendriessche and Alfredo Braunstein to understand a bit about how the string figure calculus acts of canonical linear sequences.
This photo has a sketch of an embedding $\heartsuit_n \leq B_{2n}$.
Three loop manipulations are shown. What should we call them?
A quick peek at the braid group $B_3$
A write-up of a question about loop manipulation and braid groups.
Labelled generators of $H_{n} \subseteq B_{2n}$.
