“…The action of ρ (i) on the link patterns should respect the occupation, i.e., the top left j should coincide with the occupations of the edges j and j + 1 (respectively) in the link pattern, otherwise the action gives zero. We notice that ρ (2) , ρ (4) , ρ (7) and ρ (9) act as projectors on the different occupancies of two edges, ρ (5) and ρ (6) act locally by interchanging an occupied edge with an unoccupied edge, the operator ρ (1) also acts locally by inserting a little arch at the position j, j + 1 of a link pattern. The two remaining operators ρ (3) and ρ (8) , change the global picture, because they connect two existing paths, or close one.…”
