Knots are useful for rigging for one thing.
For why rigging may be relevant in the context of this wiki see page: Rigging
Problem: Practical knots are not documented very systematically.
This makes learning them much faster via systematical understanding impossible and thus much slower.
Solution attempt here: Find better ways to systematically cover them to make it easier to learn them.
This page is NOT about mathematical knots and links which need to be one or more closed loops.
There exists some interesting work on a "periodic table of mathematical knots and links" but for
the aim here to make learning easier by organizing practical knots more systematically
this would not fit the purpose and miss the point.
Still there is huge room for more systematic organization and didactic presentation.

Relation to nanoscale
Nanotubes are likely not very suitable to tie knots into them
as smaller bending radii will make them collapse king and cause breakage of covalent bonds.
