Summary

[edit]
Description

Borromean rings (knot) -- no two circles are directly linked, but the three are collectively interlinked. Cutting one ring frees the other two. In terms of knot theory, a "Brunnian link".

For a version of the Borromean rings depicted in triangular form, see Image:Valknut-Symbol-borromean.png .

For extended Borromean patterns, see Image:Borromean-cross.png / Image:Borromean-cross.svg and Image:Borromean-chainmail-tile.png .

For other (more complex) three-component Brunnian links which are not equivalent to the Borromean rings, see Image:Brunnian-3-not-Borromean.png and Image:Three-triang-18crossings-Brunnian.png .
