In computer science, one way of providing a semantics for programs is by using infinite trees to model do-loops in finite flow-graphs. Dana Scott and Marshall Hall are the earliest I recall. Arbib and Manes later on.

A lot of knot theory can be tackled by a similar tack.

Gosh, where to begin?

In computer science, one way of providing a semantics for programs is by using infinite trees to model do-loops in finite flow-graphs. Dana Scott and Marshall Hall are the earliest I recall. Arbib and Manes later on.

A lot of knot theory can be tackled by a similar tack. The literature went legion long ago.
