Geometric Constraints in Link Isotopy
We prove the existence of families of distinct isotopy classes of physical unknots through the key concept of parametrised thickness. These unknots have prescribed length, tube thickness, a uniform bound on curvature, and cannot be disentangled into a thickened round circle by an isotopy that preserves these constraints throughout. In particular, we establish the existence of \emph{gordian unknots}: embedded tubes that are topologically trivial but geometrically locked, confirming a long-standi…

Calamus 21 Music always round me

I'm a little pressed to find a gay reading of this poem, it doesn't have the usual paeans to manly love. There is a pleasant exuberance and sensuality to it, "shuddering luciously" and all. But it's the beginning lines that really catch me:
Music always round me ... yet long untaught I did not hear,
But now the chorus I hear, and am elated,
It's like there's a secret world of pleasure that Whitman only recently has learned to enjoy himself. A feeling similar to the epiphany of coming out to oneself.
