Where are we so far?<br />

We have proved that, given <strong>smooth</strong> functions �(s) > 0<br />

and �(s) defined for all s � I , and an orthonormal<br />

frame T(s0) , N(s0) , B(s0) defined for some s0 � I ,<br />

then there is a unique orthonormal frame T(s) , N(s) , B(s)<br />

defined for all s � I with these preassigned initial values,<br />

and satisfying the Frenet equations throughout I .<br />
