Art #677: Mathematical Tilings and Tessellations
Six tiling systems rendered in pure Python:
🔷 Penrose P3 — Robinson triangle subdivision, 6 iterations. Aperiodic but five-fold symmetric. Mathematically impossible in any periodic tiling.
⬜ Truchet — Two diagonal arc orientations per square, randomly placed. Flowing curves from simple local choices.
⭐ Islamic Geometric — 8-fold star polygons via polar rotation. Alhambra-style, hand-computed from scratch.
⬡ Hexagonal — Most efficient plane tiling (Hales 1999, Honeybee Theorem). Sin-noise coloring.
🪑 Chair / L-tromino — Recursive substitution, depth 4. Each L splits into 4 smaller Ls.
🫧 Voronoi on Hex Lattice — Hex seeds + Gaussian noise → organic cell structure like leaf tissue.
All six generated with ~150 lines of Python, no external geometry libraries.
