Polygon Nets that Overlap, Intertwine, Twist, and Link...
[Making Math Models] > [Topological Nets] > [Braids]
Kepler braids are inspired by the polygon studies of Johannes Kepler and braids from Braid theory in topology. To make braids from nets, intertwine two or more linear structures composed of polygons as see below and to the right of the assembled braid on the far left. The remainder follow the same pattern of intertwined strips.
