Is there a standard name for the fractal G that's the *boundary* of Bill Gosper's Flowsnake?
I've been calling it "the map-of-France". Not sure where that originated, but it's kind of apt, since the actual map of France is hexagonalish and has a fractalish boundary.
Omitting technical details:
One way to define it is to start with the 2D regular hexagon H_0 in the complex plane C. [...]
More ways: 1) L-system Start: ++++++ Rules: + --> +-+ - --> --+ where + and - are turns by 60 degrees, a unit stroke implied after each turn. (use turns of 120 degrees to get the terdragon) 2) "unit rectangle" with numeration system using radix (5+sqrt(3)) / 2 and the seven digits {zero and all roots of unity solving z^6-1}.
