This is a place-filling curve with 5-fold symmetry. Notice the many nested pentagons. Tell me what you think of this conjecture: all self-similar plane-filling curves with local 5-fold rotational symmetry are necessarily aperiodic.
Four plane-filling curves of the order 7 family. Gosper curve at the bottom, 7-dragon at bottom-left. The large one is "Gosper Dragon", which I discovered. They all have "Gosper skin" and so they can tessellate. fractalcurves.com

This space-filling curve is rendered at low iteration so the details are visible. When iterated to more fractal levels, the details become smaller. No matter how resolved, the curve is always self-avoiding. Notice the dense areas. A curious property.

This is "Brainfiller"- the mascot of my book "Brainfilling Curves", and one of the designs that will be explained in a new book I am starting to write about the art and math of plane-filling curves. More to come. The adventure begins!
