Based on the London approximation, we investigate numerically the stability of the elementary configurations of entanglement, the twisted-pair and the twisted-triplet, in the vortex-lattice and -liquid phases. We find that, except for the dilute limit, the twisted-pair is unstable and hence irrelevant in the discussion of entanglement. In the lattice phase the twisted-triplet constitutes a metastable, confined configuration of high energy. Loss of lattice symmetry upon melting leads to deconfinement and the twisted-triplet turns into a low-energy helical configuration.
