I think this tangle toy probably has a number of topological states that: (a) could be identified using URIs (b) their relationships could be described using RDF, e.g. in terms of loop-twists or some suchlike maneouvre (c) sequences of operations to change from one state to another might be derived using a standard RDF tool like cwm or Euler. Do we have a mathematician of sufficient skill to work out the details? ... Another thought I had along similar lines was one of those tile puzzles, where you "move the hole around" to obtain some well-ordered arrangement of tiles. (e.g. the RDF-logo?) Again, linked to RDF descriptions of the states and solvable using standard off-the-shelf (or off-the-web) RDF tools. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org>
