Your question is more likely to get an interesting answer (especially here on MO) if you can find a sharper definition of "capsizing". (Inversion in knot theory already has a standard meaning.) My immediate thought is that capsizing looks a bit like the Reidemeister move $R_\infty$ - "pushing past infinity". | |
