Abstract
This paper discusses combinatorial recoupling theory, first in relation to the vector cross product algebra and a reformulation of the Four Colour Theorem, and secondly in relation to the Temperley-Lieb algebra, the Jones polynomial and the SU(2) 3-Manifold invariants of Witten, Reshetikhin and Turaev.
