1st Source: Disputation #03: General Equation for all Links of Knot Theory

First Source on Lutecium

A general equation for all links and knots

This disputation follows, and amplifies , the intervention of Michel Thomé at the last Saturday of Lysimaque.
We return to the definitions and characteristics of links and knots.
Then Michel Thomé describes the equation he produced, for writing each knot and link. And from this equation we can write the equation of the next link and of the previous one. It seems that this is a general equation for encoding all of the possible links.
