Dec 3, 2015 at 20:06 comment added silvascientist @PVAL I originally did not specify "sphere" but rather "surface". I was not aware of the subtlety in considering what it means for an arbitrary surface in $\mathbb R^4$ to be "unknotted". I hope that it is clear now, and not too basic.
Dec 3, 2015 at 19:53 comment added PVAL I'd understand if this question was considered too basic for this site, but I don't see how it is at all unclear what is being asked for.

Dec 3, 2015 at 16:59 comment added silvascientist @IgorRivin I suppose I should restrict to spheres. Then take unkotted to be ambient isotopic to an embedding that lies in $\mathbb R^3$
Dec 3, 2015 at 16:44 comment added Igor Rivin The question is: what do you mean by "knotted"? Which is the same question as: what do you mean by UNknotted?
Dec 3, 2015 at 16:38 comment added silvascientist @IgorRivin Yeah, I left that deliberately open. I'm looking for a parameterization of any relatively basic knotted surface, that I can use to produce a visualization of the intersection of the surface with a family of 3d affine hyperplanes, and seeing how the intersections evolve over time as classical links.
