The Generators

Our generators are $T$, $R$, $\Phi$ and $B^{\pm }$:

Picture
Generator	$T$	$R$	$\Phi$	$B^{+}$	$B^{-}$
Perturbation	$t$	$r$	$\varphi$	$b^{+}$	$b^{-}$

The Relations

The Reidemeister Move R3

The picture (with three sides of the shielding removed) is

In formulas, this is

$(1230)^{\star }B^{+}(1213)^{\star }B^{+}(1023)^{\star }B^{+}=(1123)^{\star }B^{+}(1203)^{\star }B^{+}(1231)^{\star }B^{+}$.

Linearized and written in functional form, this becomes

$\rho _{3}(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3},x_{4})=$	$b^{+}(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3})+b^{+}(x_{1}+x_{3},x_{2},x_{4})+b^{+}(x_{1},x_{3},x_{4})$
	$-b^{+}(x_{1}+x_{2},x_{3},x_{4})-b^{+}(x_{1},x_{2},x_{4})-b^{+}(x_{1}+x_{4},x_{2},x_{3}).$

The Syzygies

The "B around B" Syzygy

The picture, with all shielding removed, is

(Drawn with Inkscape) (note that lower quality picture are also acceptable)

The functional form of this syzygy is

$BB(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3},x_{4},x_{5})=$	$\rho _{3}(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3},x_{5})+\rho _{3}(x_{1}+x_{5},x_{2},x_{3},x_{4})-\rho _{3}(x_{1}+x_{2},x_{3},x_{4},x_{5})$
	$-\rho _{3}(x_{1},x_{2},x_{4},x_{5})-\rho _{3}(x_{1}+x_{4},x_{2},x_{3},x_{5})-\rho _{3}(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3},x_{4})$
	$+\rho _{3}(x_{1},x_{3},x_{4},x_{5})+\rho _{3}(x_{1}+x_{3},x_{2},x_{4},x_{5}).$

A Mathematica Verification

The following simulated Mathematica session proves that for our single relation and single syzygy, $d^{2}=0$. Copy paste it into a live Mathematica session to see that it's right!
