Suppose a curve with self-intersections can be described by $phi(x,y)=0$. Suppose the intersections are $T_i$, $i=1,2,...$ and the gradient $nabla phi$ at those intersections are well defined. Then is it true that $nablaphi(T_i)=0$ for all $i$? In other words, are the gradients at those intersections all zero?

          Assuming $phi(x,y)$ is continuously differentiable in a neighbourhood of $T_i$, yes, because otherwise you could use the Implicit Function Theorem to get a unique curve in a neighourhood of $T_i$ satisfying $phi(x,y) = 0$.

            If we agree that $phi$ is continuously differentiable (so $nabla phi(x,y)$ is a continuous function of $x$ and $y$), then yes, this must be true.



            The reason is that, if $nabla phi(x_0, y_0) neq 0$ for some $(x_0, y_0)$, then the implicit function theorem guarantees that (locally) we can write $y$ as a function of $x$ or $x$ as a function of $y$. However, at a self-intersection $T_i$, our curve fails the horizontal and vertical line tests, so we cannot express $x$ as a function of $y$ or $y$ as a function of $x$.
