While looking into the usage of 'herringbone' I came across 'mouse teeth' used to describe an archaic television (CRT) distortion pattern, most common now in cartoon caricature of TV sets. Now the term has been co-opted to describe a 'deinterlacing mis-registration distortion'.

Maybe he would be like our parents when they introduced calculators to young school kids!
'They'll not understand the maths and they will get lazy!'
Or things like we will never be able to add and subtract without a calculator.
Its possible he would think we are lazy using easy tools to create tessellations or fractals. Unless of course you are the one writing the program to do that.
But I suspect he would have a blast! I always thought he was on serious hallucinogenic substances to come up with the concepts, let alone execute them onto paper. LOL
The digital age would have enabled him to explore the even more mathematically challenging concepts that we take for granted now. It would be an exciting thing to see, indeed.
He did round off his genius with exceptional lithograph skills too. An amazing man. His art is exceptional too, because it reaches the average person. You don't have to understand art or even maths to 'get' his art.
Keep up the great work Mark! I enjoy it and will be back to look at more.
You'll be interested in this [link] article, sent to me by =scott5353. I don't know the original source. It gives some idea about how Escher understood the math of what he was doing intuitively and accurately, but not formally.
Wow, what a fascinating account of two, no three very interesting people.
Escher's approach to maths gives me hope. 'the intuitive hands on approach of trial and error'. What a clever man to work a problem to dust to discover how to do it. Love that term Coxeterings- pattern solutions.
I like Escher's honesty too, admitting that the explanations from Coxeter were 'hocus-pocus' text. Brave man to publicly admit that.
Now, Buckminster Fuller is quite a character. I hadn't heard of him before. A fascinating read on Wiki about his odd language, ideas and behavior. I need to do some more reading on him. And how the different domes that he has designed replicate the structures of different viruses! Wow.
I especially love the idea that I am an astronaut. I've always thought that my birthday is special because I've been on a wonderful trip around the sun, yet again.
According to Wiki a word he invented is Ephemeralization, meaning doing more with less! Quite an environmentalist for sustainable living, on the spaceship mother earth. LOL

Its interesting how you constructed it.
Are you a modern day Escher? Except with a computer!

Wonderful stuff. Thanks for that Mark.
