Last night, I was reading this Malcolm Gladwell article in The New Yorker. I read the whole article, but my mind was stuck on something the article mentioned in passing at the very beginning that had nothing else to do with the rest of the article: aperiodic tile patterns.
I had never heard this term before. Thinking about the words "aperiodic" and "pattern", it has to be a dynamic shifting pattern such that the phases of the pattern were irregular. In my head, I tried to imagine these aperiodic patterns. I fell asleep with my mind weaving these images in my head.
Naturally, first thing I did in the morning was to look up these patterns. And so I leave you with the pretty images of examples I found today.
