| Jan 6, 2016 at 20:05 | comment | added | Hauke Reddmann | You might be interested in the work by Stasiak (the famous 1/7 writhe guy :-) who made a paper on the, well, I call it "genealogy" of knots. Should be something like Stasiak&Flammini, "Natural classifications of knots". (Oh, and I extended that work long before that paper came out :-) | |

Because of the signs, it can be $0$ even if two components of a link can't be pulled apart, and the knot types of the components don't restrict the linking number at all. | |
