    It’s basically the “There is only a single state in which a knot is untied. There are infinite ways in which a knot can be tied.”

      Well, ackshually…

      Eh, I can’t be bothered looking it up, but knot theory in mathematics, we’re at like 56M combinations or some insane number possibly many millions above or below that.

      It’s a weirdly interesting area of mathematics lol
