This intricate knot design was created using RidgeRunner, a free software program available at http://www.jasoncantarella.com/wordpress/software/ridgerunner/. RidgeRunner employs numerical algorithms to minimize the length of the knot while maintaining a constant tube around it. This specific model represents the only possible configuration for this topological knot, as optimizing any other function would result in a different shape. For further information on tight knots and ropelength data, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ropelength or http://www.jasoncantarella.com/wordpress/papers/, respectively.
