👉 Beknotting is a mathematical concept in geometry and topology that describes a closed curve, or loop, with no self-intersection points. It was first introduced by mathematician Richard Dedekind in 1894. The name "beknotting" comes from the French word "bécot", which means knot or spiral. Beknotting curves are used to model knots and spirals, particularly in the study of topological manifolds such as surfaces and higher-dimensional
