Example of a schematic growth algorithm. In the first step one cluster (marked by a red dot in the centre of the cluster at top left) is surrounded by ten others obeying the overlap rules. Then a ring of ten more clusters is added, and so on. The red dots mark cluster centres, which all lie on intersections of quasilattice lines. For creating a quasiperiodic structure the FALC and the MFLC rule must be obeyed. |
