Their use of “QR Code” is mighty confusing. QR (Quick Response) Codes are something specific that people are familiar with. These don’t share any characteristics apart from being images which uniquely represent something else. They’re not even the same colour or shape. Just call them “knot codes” or something.
I mean... There is a 1-1 mapping, and they look kinda like QR codes. so technically, you can make an app that scan it and it will show you the corresponding polynomial.. It could even be useful for fast checking knots
Interesting article. I love it when maths gives us some beautiful visuals too.
Love them knots! The sudoku of the universe :)
This is not a new QR code, nor is it powerful. It's worse in every way and is not really even a code.
