Fig. 4.5. A sketch of the enhancement which adds an edge between any two interlocking<br />

2 × 2 squares in L 3 .<br />

when π(s) < p ≤ pc.<br />

That is, essential enhancements shift the critical point strictly. Here is<br />

such an enhancement relevant to the entanglement transition in L 3 . Whenever<br />

we see two interlinking 2 × 2 open squares, then we join them by an<br />

edge (see Figure 4.5). It is easy to see that this enhancement is essential,<br />

and therefore it shifts the critical point downwards. Hence the entanglement<br />

critical point pe satisfies pe < pc. See [19, 199].<br />

Finally we note that one may find explicit functions g in Lemma 4.5,<br />

whence the mechanism of the method leads to numerical lower bounds on<br />

the change in critical value.
