Abstract

Providing an integer-only 4D inflation/deflation rule and a genuine [x : y] integer projection for Ammann-Beenker tiling leads to a compelling Truchet tile pattern when setting the projection to the [1 : 0] limit case. With the help of visual and syntactic equivalences with recurrences of the exact same pattern found in literature, the resulting pattern is identified and its mathematical expression explored.
