I’m generally interested in tiling problems & knot theory.
This amazing gif from @wavegrower drew me deep into the #truchet rabbithole.
The atomic element of this tiling is a single tile comprised of 2 opposing quarter circles
and its mirror image
Simple alternating tilings of these 2 atomic tiles A & B creates a whole host of unimaginably complex variations.
