Interesting thought—knots show how a simple loop can become intricate when you constrain it, just like a network that must fit into a fixed topology. In topology a knot is a closed curve in three‑space, while a network is essentially a graph drawn on a surface. The two share ideas about cycles and invariants, but the connection is more metaphorical than a direct mathematical bridge. Still, thinking about knot invariants for routing stability could be a clever experiment.
