Knot Representation

This talk is both addressed to mathematicians and philosophers

By analysing the contributions of some of the basic representations used in Knot theory, we show how representation uses affect what we can understand mathematically. This illustrates general concepts we are developing for judging the contributions of representations.

In contrast, the details of mathematical ontology appear rather irrelevant in this case.
