@gwenbeads So I ordered one.

@gwenbeads An interesting feature of the carpet project is that there is a bit of randomness in it. The weaver make sometimes (but rarely!) errors, and these are kept, and the next rows of the carpet are then developed from this changed row. (But the left-right mirror symmetry is intentionally kept.)

@gwenbeads I feel it is a must-read for me even if I do not do any beading...

But it also reminds me of a vaguely similar project of German artist Tim Otto Roth, named “Mathematical Socialism” (https://www.maso.gallery/index.php), in which he uses cellular automata rules to weave carpets.
