In the previous three papers in this series, [WKO1]-[WKO3], Z. Dancso and I studied a certain theory of "homomorphic expansions" of "w-knotted objects", a certain class of knotted objects in 4-dimensional space. When all layers of interpretation are stripped off, what remains is a study of a certain number of equations written in a family of spaces ${\mathcal A}^w$, closely related to degree-completed free Lie algebras and to degree-completed spaces of cyclic words.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce mathematical and computational tools that enable explicit computations (up to a certain degree) in these ${\mathcal A}^w$ spaces and to use these tools to solve the said equations and verify some properties of their solutions, and as a consequence, to carry out the computation (up to a certain degree) of certain knot-theoretic invariants discussed in [WKO1]-[WKO3] and in my related paper [KBH].
