- prideout 11y agoAgreed! The numbers are the Alexander-Briggs identifiers for the prime knots: - The big number is the number of crossings. - The subscript is its officially designated index within the set of knots that have the same number of crossings. - If there's a superscript, then it's a link, and the superscript represents the number of components.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoAh, cool. I was thinking that maybe 4sub1 should be a '3'. Any chance of being able to rotate the model using a mouse/touch?
- lifthrasiir 11y agoFor example, 8²₃ means... - The crossing number of given knot(s) is 8. In the other words, when you put the knot(s) to the flat floor, there are 8 crossings. - There are 2 independent knots there. They are colored differently so you can easily see this. The collection of knots is also called a link. - The subscript is numbered in the predefined arbitrary order starting with 1. There are many different knot notations, but this particular one is called Alexander-Briggs notation.
