7 knot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

74
In mathematical knot theory, 74 is the name of a 7-crossing knot which
can be visually depicted in a highly-symmetric form, and so appears in
the symbolism and/or artistic ornamentation of various cultures.

The image in the infobox at top right shows the 74 knot in Celtic artistic volume
form, also found in some Hausa embroideries.[1] Stick no. 9

The interlaced version of the simplest form of the Endless knot symbol Unknotting no. 2
of Buddhism is topologically equivalent to the 74 knot (though it Conway notation [313]
appears to have nine crossings), as is the interlaced version of the A-B notation 74
unicursal hexagram of occultism.[2] (However, the endless knot symbol
Dowker notation 6, 10, 12, 14, 4, 2,
has more complex forms not equivalent to 74, and both the endless knot
8
and unicursal hexagram can appear in non-interlaced versions, in which
case they are not knots at all.) Last /Next 73 / 75
