Aligator lattice, Schwarz' CLP surface, magnets tutorial @EdoTimmermans

Uploaded March 2013 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

The surface represented by this lattice has some nice diagonal tunnels, due to the way the horizontal and vertical tunnels are arranged. It is a shifted version of Schwarz' CLP surface or of Schoen's F-RD(r) surface with the small tunnels removed. See:

$Recursive tower The surface of the tower consists of diamonds. The tower is recursive, because the diamonds get smaller towards the top. In some fractals, there are branches like this.$
