A physical example of the complicated braid relation.

Canonical Start of A Linear Sequence

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.

How does string figure calculus act on linear sequences?

I’m working with Eric Vandendriessche and Alfredo Braunstein to understand a bit about how the string figure calculus acts of canonical linear sequences.
