Conferencia "The Way the World Fits Together (Tiling 1)” Chaim Goodman-Strauss en la UNAM

Resumen:

The recently discovered “Hat” monotile reminds us that small gadgets, fitting together by local interactions can give rise to fantastic complexity, even in recreational mathematics! Across the sciences and mathematics, as fragments of formal logic, symbols in a computer language, or proteins, all producing irreducible complexity when combined by simple proscribed rules. We’ll discuss the source of this in combinatorial tiling puzzles. For a sample, try to decide whether or not you can use copies of this tile to cover the entire plane!
