Mutation

Consider a Knot as being formed from two Tangles. The following three operations are called mutations.

1. Cut the knot open along four points on each of the four strings coming out of , flipping over, andgluing the strings back together.

2. Cut the knot open along four points on each of the four strings coming out of , flipping to theright, and gluing the strings back together.

3. Cut the knot, rotate it by 180°, and reglue. This is equivalent to performing (1), then (2).
