contents We count holomorphic curves in complex 3-space with boundaries on three special Lagrangian solid tori. The count is valued in the HOMFLYPT skein module of the union of the tori. Using 1-parameter families of curves at infinity, we derive three skein valued operator equations which must annihilate the count, and which dequantize to a mirror of the geometry. We show algebraically that the resulting equations determine the count uniquely, and that the result agrees with the topological vertex from topological string theory.
