of the projected embedding in which the first curve passes over the second one, modulo 2. The projection must be "regular", meaning that no two vertices project to the same point, no vertex projects to the interior of an edge, and at every point of the projection where the projections of two edges intersect, they cross transversally; with this restriction, any two projections lead to the same linking number.The linking number of the unlink is
