Abstract: We compute the braiding for the `principal gradation' of $U_q(hat{itsl}_2)$ for $|q|=1$ from first principles, starting from the idea of a rigid braided tensor category. It is not necessary to assume either the crossing or the unitarity condition from S-matrix theory. We demonstrate the uniqueness of the normalisation of the braiding under certain analyticity assumptions, and show that its convergence is critically dependent on the number-theoretic properties of the number $au$ in the deformation parameter $q=e^{2piiau}$. We also examine the convergence using probability, assuming a uniform distribution for $q$ on the unit circle.
