Any such knot could be topologically deformed into a knot made of arbitrarily thin plane segment, which would end up being the same as a line knot. So knots mad

Any such knot could be topologically deformed into a knot made of arbitrarily thin plane segment, which would end up being the same as a line knot. So knots made out of finite plane segments are uninteresting.
- OJFord 11y agoI should have been more clear though, I was imagining an infinite 'blanket', which I grab in the 'middle' (not an end) and tie a knot there. Or does that not count as (mathematical) knotting?
