Parquet deformation

A tiling whose edges evolve across the plane, driven by a field D. Every intermediate shape still tiles.

Deformation

D varies along the strip: one shape at each end.

D field

An analytic profile: ramp, tent or sine.

Motion

Grid drift

The tiles travel; the field stays nailed to the plane. Each tile re-reads D as it moves, so it changes shape while it slides.

Field drift

The tiles stay put; the field slides over them. The evolution flows across fixed tiles like a wave.
