The Relations
The Reidemeister move R1
We cannot write this in the first notation, as the chords ending on both the second and third red line will end on the second pink line.
In the linearized functional notation, if I'm getting this right, it looks like this:
Where the negative sign is because the order of the chords is reversed as we slide them along the little loop.
The Reidemeister move R2
With three sides of the shielding removed, the picture is:
This means:
Linearized and in functional form:
((The right side won't contribute anything, right?))
The Reidemeister Move R3
The picture (with three sides of the shielding removed) is
In formulas, this is

Linearized and written in functional form, this becomes

First version of R4:
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!
