    Added cross-link with generalized tangle hypothesis

    Added toc.

    Changed page name to singular, to stick with running conventions.

    Expanded the page minimally: - mentioned the idea of tangles in higher dimensions - added references

    added (here) brief statement of Shum’s theorem with pointer to:

    Have touched the wording of what is now the second paragraph of the Idea-section, being more explicit/correct about the relation between tangles and knots/links.

    Also added, below that, a sentence about braids as another special case of tangles.
