This is IT!

This opens real new vistas and puts the knots in a broader context.
Definitely a major improvement. I agree with your dumping the staircases. I
imagine there are more interesting things to add here now.

Just a thought, whatever it is worth: How about some communication link
between the knots. Doesn't need to be entirely explicit (like a suspension
bridge for instance), but like a flying bus service :-)

Well, that might destroy the effect otoh....
