M Theory Lesson 57
Recall that the Bilson-Thompson diagrams for left and right handed electrons are formed with three strands, each with a full negative twist representing a one third charge.
Ignoring the twists, the simplest braid composition of the form looks like this:
This knot is called a knot, according to the amazing online knot atlas, which lists the polynomial invariants for this knot. For example, the Jones polynomial takes the form
Since all negative twists add up on going around the knot, there is a total ninefold twist. There is now a button to the knot atlas on the sidebar.

Hi Kea,
RE: Bilson-Thompson diagrams for left and right handed electrons.
To satisfy QCD and make a more powerful presentation perhaps the stings need to be of different colors?

How could one represent e/5 charge using Bilson-Thompson-like diagrams?
How could one represent e/5 charge?
Wouldn't we need 5 strands (elements of B5) for that? Then a full twist on any strand would count for e/5. Hmm. The other possibility is Iteration: thinking of this 3 piece composition as giving charge 1 strands, then 5 finer strands internal to a single strand could count twists as e/5.
