Eg the first half of their 1-page proof is "We begin with diagrams of two equivalent knots. Rotate the knots so that the diagrams of the two knots are based on projections into the same plane. Now adjust the projection so that both knots, as well as the triangles involved in all triangular moves, project in general position. Make this adjustment so that it does not disturb the combinatorics of the knot diagrams." | |
