Disjoint unions of oriented diagrams #

Disjoint union retains each component's direction, including the directions on crossing-free circles. Crossing signs are unchanged, and writhe is additive. Consequently the writhe-normalized Kauffman bracket has the same disjoint-union formula as the unoriented bracket. This is the formula used to transport an invariant local replacement of an isolated diagram into an arbitrary surrounding diagram.

Disjoint union retains the direction of each component of the two diagrams.
