 * Code to generate patches of the aperiodic 'hat' tiling discovered

 *
 * This uses the 'combinatorial coordinates' system documented in my

 * https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/quasiblog/aperiodic-tilings/
 *
 * The internal document auxiliary/doc/hats.html also contains an
 * explanation of the basic ideas of this algorithm (less polished but
 * containing more detail).
 *
 * Neither of those documents can really be put in a source file,
 * because they just have too many complicated diagrams. So read at

/*
 * The actual tables.
 */
#include "hat-tables.h"

/*
 * One set of tables that we write by hand: the permitted ways to
 * extend the coordinate system outwards from a given metatile.
 *
 * One obvious approach would be to make a table of all the places
 * each metatile can appear in the expansion of another (e.g. H can be
 * subtile 0, 1 or 2 of another H, subtile 0 of a T, or 0 or 1 of a P
 * or an F), and when we need to decide what our current topmost tile
 * turns out to be a subtile of, choose equiprobably at random from
 * those options.
 *
 * That's what I did originally, but a better approach is to skew the
 * probabilities. We'd like to generate our patch of actual tiling
 * uniformly at random, in the sense that if you selected uniformly
 * from a very large region of the plane, the distribution of possible
 * finite patches of tiling would converge to some limit as that
 * region tended to infinity, and we'd be picking from that limiting
 * distribution on finite patches.
 *
 * For this we have to refer back to the original paper, which
 * indicates the subset of each metatile's expansion that can be
 * considered to 'belong' to that metatile, such that every subtile
 * belongs to exactly one parent metatile, and the overlaps are
 * eliminated. Reading out the diagrams from their Figure 2.8:
 *
 * - H: we discard three of the outer F subtiles, in the symmetric
 *    positions index by our coordinates as 7, 10, 11. So we keep the
 *    remaining subtiles {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,12}, which consist of
 *    three H, one T, three P and three F.
 *
 * - T: only the central H expanded from a T is considered to belong
 *   to it, so we just keep {0}, a single H.
 *
 * - P: we discard everything intersected by a long edge of the
 *   parallelogram, leaving the central three tiles and the endmost
 *   pair of F. That is, we keep {0,1,4,5,10}, consisting of two H,
 *   one P and two F.
 *
 * - F: looks like P at one end, and we retain the corresponding set
 *   of tiles there, but at the other end we keep the two F on either
 *   side of the endmost one. So we keep {0,1,3,6,8,10}, consisting of
 *   two H, one P and _three_ F.
 *
 * Adding up the tile numbers gives us this matrix system:
 *
 * (H_1)   (3 1 2 2)(H_0)
 * (T_1) = (1 0 0 0)(T_0)
 * (P_1)   (3 0 1 1)(P_0)
 * (F_1)   (3 0 2 3)(F_0)
 *
 * which says that if you have a patch of metatiling consisting of H_0
 * H tiles, T_0 T tiles etc, then this matrix shows the number H_1 of
 * smaller H tiles, etc, expanded from it.
 *
 * If you expand _many_ times, that's equivalent to raising the matrix
 * to a power:
 *
 *                  n
 * (H_n)   (3 1 2 2) (H_0)
 * (T_n) = (1 0 0 0) (T_0)
 * (P_n)   (3 0 1 1) (P_0)
 * (F_n)   (3 0 2 3) (F_0)
 *
 * The limiting distribution of metatiles is obtained by looking at
 * the four-way ratio between H_n, T_n, P_n and F_n as n tends to
 * infinity. To calculate this, we find the eigenvalues and
 * eigenvectors of the matrix, and extract the eigenvector
 * corresponding to the eigenvalue of largest magnitude. (Things get
 * more complicated in cases where there isn't a _unique_ eigenvalue
 * of largest magnitude, but here, there is.)
 *
 * That eigenvector is
 *
 *   [          1          ]      [ 1                      ]
 *   [ (7 - 3 sqrt(5)) / 2 ]  ~=  [ 0.14589803375031545538 ]
 *   [    3 sqrt(5) - 6    ]      [ 0.70820393249936908922 ]
 *   [ (9 - 3 sqrt(5)) / 2 ]      [ 1.14589803375031545538 ]
 *
 * So those are the limiting relative proportions of metatiles.
 *
 * So if we have a particular metatile, how likely is it for its
 * parent to be one of those? We have to adjust by the number of
 * metatiles of each type that each tile has as its children. For
 * example, the P and F tiles have one P child each, but the H has
 * three P children. So if we have a P, the proportion of H in its
 * potential ancestry is three times what's shown here. (And T can't
 * occur at all as a parent.)
 *
 * In other words, we should choose _each coordinate_ with probability
 * corresponding to one of those numbers (scaled down so they all sum
 * to 1). Continuing to use P as an example, it will be:
 *
 *  - child 4 of H with relative probability 1
 *  - child 5 of H with relative probability 1
 *  - child 6 of H with relative probability 1
 *  - child 4 of P with relative probability 0.70820393249936908922
 *  - child 3 of F with relative probability 1.14589803375031545538
 *
 * and then we obtain the true probabilities by scaling those values
 * down so that they sum to 1.
 *
 * The tables below give a reasonable approximation in 32-bit
 * integers to these proportions.
