@dodecahedra Interesting to see which of those you chose match the best known solutions for the

(the 'equivalent polyhedra' in the table there are for N vertices, so you'd need to take the duals for N faces)
@hamish_todd This all started many years ago (https://t.co/mATdsSgLak) with thinking about the equivalent of a loxodrome in one dimension up. A Hopf link does make the most direct analogue for the 2 poles, with the surface twisting from one to the opposite one through the 3 sphere.
@alytile Number 2 there doesn't connect up across adjacent tiles.
If connecting midpoints, and we want closed curves, I believe we need to include either all the red pts below, all the green points, or all of both.
@alytile Oh that's nice. I hadn't looked at patterns on the turtle yet. It seems there are several possibilities for connecting tangent arcs across the long edges
@m_u_s_h_r_o_o_m@TylerGlaiel There's a whole class of equivalent arrangements extremely close to the optimal one. You'd need some precision manufacturing and stiff material to make it impossible to fit them into the same frame

Similar to what @alytile showed for the H/T/P/F metatiles (https://t.co/586Vgxl7VN) these are the 2 fractal tiles for the substitution system in figure 2.11 of the new aperiodic monotile paper (https://t.co/h14Tanws4k).
