      Proteins would be very interesting, there are surely "numbers" which are similar to heesh numbers, but they have to be adapted somehow... a differnt repelling force for N - C and for C - C or hydrogen bonds , i think that some pc programs which try to predict forms of preoteins, use similar techniques for stacking like in the video (sry i am not a native speaker)

    Do you have to cover the diagonals (is it sufficient that the edges are completely covered or do you need to completely cover the vertexes too)? In your square example it seems that you don't have to, but in the example for Heesch number 1 you covered it.

    • @oegunal
      @oegunal 5 років тому +1

      Intuitively, the square "covers the vertices" if you consider that there are eight squares around the center square. The diagonally placed four squares cover the vertices. I'm just not sure what vertex would be considered formally "covered" or "not covered" in this case.

      @@BobStein yes, this seems a reasonable definition. The way I was thinking of it was: if you can draw a line segment of any non-zero length anchored at a vertex (or any point on the circumference) that does not intersect with any outer tile, then the point is not covered. Which is basically the same thing.

    Does taking pieces of the Penrose tiling give larger Heesch numbers? In particular, if you take several tiles of the Penrose tiling which form a connected piece and call that piece your single tile, do you get very far with that? There are obviously infinitely many such pieces to be chosen, so it's my intuition that some of them would be relatively good tiles.

    Re: laser cutting.
    It depends on how many tiles overlap the same point. If you can find a set of tiles that are analogous to the single tile then you could theoretically make 3D models where the discontiguous pieces are held by contiguous tiles used as a base. If the base is clear, you should be able to see the aperiodic tiling.

    • @edmundharriss2288
      @edmundharriss2288 5 років тому

      Yes there are ways to make them. Though making the bases of neighbouring tiles not intersect might be tricky. Also this pulls the problem into 3d (and it is a 2d tile). These are as much aesthetic concerns as anything else.

    • @ThAlEdison
      @ThAlEdison 5 років тому

      @@edmundharriss2288 I can think of ways of dealing with intersection, but it becomes trickier and less nice looking the more tiles cover the same spot. And yes it's 100% exploiting 3D to cheat the tiles into existence. And it would likely require more than one type of cut, so while it's a single tile in a specific 2D slice that we're trying to visualize, it'll likely require multiple 3D models. So more cheating.

    MC Escher and and David Fathauer have been making these tessilations for decades. It makes some fantastic artwork, and it's easy to make a basic tessilating tile shape with a simple visual formula...it might not be a masterpiece like Eschers work, but it will work.
    Take a shape, like a rectangle, a take a semicircle notch out of one side, the repeat that shape with a mirror transformation on the opposite side. So the semicircle notch on the top rightside, would be a semicircle bulge bottom leftside. Then make a triangle notch on the top line, and repeat as a triangle bulge on the bottom line. Simple tessilating tile.
    Edit: use more complex shapes and transformations and you can make a tessilating swan or turtle shape.
