Dec 20, 2016 at 18:43 comment added Allison H. Moore @RyanBudney Do you know where this result about the complete subgraphs comes from?

Nov 21, 2016 at 18:47 comment added Ryan Budney @TetsuyaAbe at first glance Nakanishi-Ohyama does not appear to address homogeneity -- it appears to be talking about the Gordian graph decorated with additional information, such as Conway/Jones polynomials. It's unclear to me how to get any purely graph-theoretic information out of this paper. Similarly for the Nakanishi paper, this is the Gordian graph decorated by Alexander invariants. But thanks for letting me know about the papers. I think there are many ways to potentially "decorate" the Gordian graph that are very intuitive that lead to an inhomogeneous object.

Nov 21, 2016 at 8:26 comment added Tetsuya Abe @ Misha It is well-known that the Gordian graph of knots is NOT hyperbolic due to Gambaudo an Ghys (2005). smf4.emath.fr/en/Publications/Bulletin/133/pdf/… A closely related paper is the following:projecteuclid.org/euclid.pja/1296570389

some small touch-ups, incorporate Misha's suggestion
Nov 20, 2016 at 9:03 comment added Misha I would add hyperbolicity to this list.
Nov 20, 2016 at 6:28 comment added Sam Nead The distance to the unknot, in the Gordian graph, is the unknotting number. So we at least know that the Gordian graph has infinite diameter.
