In mathematics, a "tangle" generally refers to a specific type of structure that arises in the study of low-dimensional topology, particularly in the theory of links and knots. The concept of tangles can be classified in various ways, but it is often associated with a division of 3-dimensional space into regions contoured by strands, which may represent parts of a knot or link.
