View the 3,10 Torus Knot in Rotation (animation, 936K)


This illustration shows:
  • How the standard "Ring" form of the 3,10 torus knot can be transformed to fit on the surface of a dimpled-sphere torus.
  • How the 3,10 torus knot is defined by a "touch-pad magic square" whose diagonals, central row, and column add to 15).
  • How the dimpled sphere form of the 3,10 torus knot defines 6 hand-shaped regions wound around a (6-thumb) tetrahelical central column.
  • How the central column of the dimpled-sphere form of the 3,10 torus knot is composed of and defined by a column of 99-tetrahedra.
  • How each hand is defined by a central colunn (wound on the thumb and extended over the palm and 4-fingers) of a "jubilee" of 49-tetrahedra; and
  • How the 99-tetrahedra tetrahedral column consists of 3-ribbons of 3x22=66 triangular faces, with one triangular face for each of the 3 sets of 22-letters of a string of 3-Hebrew alphabets.
