I love this piece. Its twists and turns. The way it echoes the title. It gave me so much pleasure to read that I don't want to analyze the why of that. At least not right now. I just want to bask in this feeling of delight. Thanks, David. One of my faves.

Well, that’s embarrassing. I meant to say “aperiodic tiles.”

Hey David- I love this particular sentence: “Pattern is rhythm. We can’t think without patterns, without arbitrary beginnings and endings that give shape to our experiences of the world. We walk, swim, ride our bikes through dots of data, and our minds draw lines to connect some of them and discard others, graphing our lives.” —well said. Couldn’t be more well said, actually. I thought about this too the other day as I looked at how everything is pattern-based. Thanks for sharing this, David.
