Recursion in Tiling

Mathematical exploration of infinite recursive patterns in λ-calculus tiling systems

Core Principles

Recursion in λ-calculus tiling allows generation of self-similar patterns through fixed-point combinators. This research explores mathematical limits of pattern recurrence in both spatial and computational domains.

  • Fixed-point combinators as pattern generators
  • Bounded recursion with geometric constraints
  • Computational limits of recursive tiling

Theoretical Foundation

Recursion in geometric tiling follows strict reduction rules while maintaining spatial coherence. These patterns rely on fixed-point combinators to achieve infinite generation within finite spaces.

Y = λf.(λx.f(x x)) (λx.f(x x))
pattern = Y(λself. λn. if n=0 then □ else rotate(45°) self(n-1))

Formal Analysis of Recursion

Type Constraints

Recursive patterns must conform to geometric continuity proofs to ensure pattern coherence.

type Recursionive = λn:ℕ → Shape ::
 if n=0 then Square
 else Rotate(Recursive(n-1))

Computational Limits

The halting condition for all recursive tiling expressions is mathematically provable through strong normalization proofs.

Lemma: For all expressions e: Recursive, exists n where e n → □

Key Theorem

The Curry-Howard correspondence in our recursive tiling system demonstrates how every valid λ-exression forms a spatial proof in the geometry of recursion.
