LRC tie knot notation tutorial

This is a tutorial for the tie knot notation introduced by Fink & Mao in 2000, and used in Hirsch, Markström, Patterson, Sandberg and Vejdemo-Johansson in 2015 for tie knot enumeration.

You can read more about this notation, and how it is used for counting possible tie knots in my article in The Message (https://medium.com/message/necktie-knots-formal-languages-and-network-security-2f703632a527) and in our paper in PeerJ (https://peerj.com/articles/cs-2).

We also have a generator for random tie knots, and an explorer for the grammars in our PeerJ paper up here: http://tieknots.johanssons.org
