A tile pattern is a simple pattern that forms a larger pattern when "tiled." I came up with the term because I envisioned that each simple pattern would be imprinted on a tile, and then the tiles would be laid out on the floor to create a larger pattern. This book is intended primarily as a picture book - something pretty to look at. I have included some technical explanations for those who might be interested or curious.

Sean Eagan wakes up in a strange, new world - 250 million years in the future. Continents have drifted, poles have shifted, and the new inhabitants are like nothing he's ever seen before. Thrilled at first to find the Utopian society of his dreams, he must eventually face the truth: humans were made to fight for survival, something these people never had to learn.
Introductory Tiling Theory for Computer Graphics
Tiling theory is an elegant branch of mathematics that has applications in several areas of computer science. The most immediate application area is graphics, where tiling theory has been used in the contexts of texture generation, sampling theory, remeshing, and of course the generation of decorative patterns. The combination of a solid theoretical base (complete with tantalizing open problems), practical algorithmic techniques, and exciting applications make tiling theory a worthwhile area of study for practitioners and students in computer science. This synthesis lecture introduces the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of tiling theory to a computer graphics audience. The goal is primarily to introduce concepts and terminology, clear up common misconceptions, and state and apply important results. The book also describes some of the algorithms and data structures that allow several aspects of tiling theory to be used in practice.
