Is This From Your Thesis or Not?
This is a hexagonal tiling of a torus generated in Mathematica referencing code and approach from two citations. This was an approach to say, great, we've come up with this tessellation approach for a bucky ball. We wanted something that would maximize the volume. But if we think about ring worlds and other shapes, we wanted to look at how do you tile a torus? And this is one example with hexagons to be able to say, could we take this same tessellary approach of self-assembling tiles and create other geometries? That's awesome. I'm now hungry. By the way, for the viewers, we're
