After spending some hours on researching Truchet, I don't think his work fits in Random. The work he did on tiling is extraordinary and entirely relevant to 10 Print, but I can't find a single instance where Truchet himself used random values. If we move forward with a section about "grids" then I think he should go there. The article "The Tiling Patterns of Sebastien Truchet and the Topology of Structural Hierarchy" published in Leonardo has a translation of Truchet's original document. | After spending some hours on researching Truchet, I don't think his work fits in Random.

Note from Mark: I agree with the Truchet. We were initially going to use him in the maze chapter, but it didn't fit there either. The Grids or Regularity chapter might be a good place. I've been reading up on him as well; it'll be interesting to see how our readings overlap. | Note from Mark: I agree with the Truchet.
