The Relations
The Reidemeister Move R3

In formulas, this is

Linearized and written in functional form, this becomes

The Syzygies
The "B around B" Syzygy

A Mathematica Verification
The following simulated Mathematica session proves that for our single relation and single syzygy, 
. Copy paste it into a live Mathematica session to see that it's right!

Here Goes Something New(?)
The first thing to notice is that the relation 
holds for and so we have another version:
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is probably a completely trivial remark, and it is also trivial to see that mathematica will deal with this in the same way as for so I won't verify that .
What I will do now is linearize and write down in functional form the relation R2. We know R2 correspnds to 
. Rewriting it gives,

|
or
