The 21n diagrams have the proposed resultant classification

A free 21n21n knot is the free knot diagram formed from the 2121-tangle and a free nn-tangle, as used in the source. Resultants are knots obtained by assigning all free crossings. 21n21n resultant-classification conjecture. A free 21n21n knot produces 22 copies of the 3n13_{n-1} knots, 2n2n copies of the 3n33_{n-3} knots, and 2(nk/2)2{n\choose k/2} copies of the 2nk2_{n-k} knots, for 3nkn43\leq n-k\leq n-4. The source says that the preceding results classify a large majority of the resultants and that the remaining classification is planned; no proof or resolution of this full claim is supplied.
