Their use of “QR Code” is mighty confusing. QR (Quick Response) Codes are something specific that people are familiar with. These don’t share any characteristics apart from being images which uniquely represent something else. They’re not even the same colour or shape. Just call them “knot codes” or something.
I mean... There is a 1-1 mapping, and they look kinda like QR codes. so technically, you can make an app that scan it and it will show you the corresponding polynomial.. It could even be useful for fast checking knots
In what way? QR Codes are black and white, square, and asymmetrical. These are colourful, hexagonal, and symmetrical. By that token, a tile also “looks kinda like a QR Code”.
The only characteristic they share is the mapping, which I mentioned in the original comment, but that’s not even slightly unique to QR codes.
