The author shows that there exists a machine which makes any link into several links - they are the trivial knot, the simple positive clasp, a split link, a connected sum of simple positive clasps and the 3-component Hopf-link - by a finite sequence of replacements appearing in Conway's three identities for the case of three variables.
