Knot-cutting

Knot-cutting is a concept from knot theory in mathematics, which explores the properties and classifications of knots. In practical terms, it refers to a process of transforming a knot into a simpler or more basic form by “cutting” it at certain points. This helps in understanding and analyzing the knot's structure and properties. By cutting the knot, mathematicians can study how different knots relate to each other and identify their unique characteristics, ultimately aiding in solving complex problems related to topology and three-dimensional spaces.
