Suddenly the Truchet tiles have generated a design that looks unmistakably like the 10 PRINT maze. The grid still remains -- indicating the edges of each tile -- but the diagonals no longer seem to bound positive or negative space. Instead, they appear to be walls. In this Truchet tile-produced artifact the dynamic between regularity and its opposite come into play, suggesting that regularity is not an aspect of design that exists in isolation, but rather can only be defined by its limitations, by those moments when the regular becomes irregular. | Suddenly the Truchet tiles have generated a design that looks unmistakably like the 10 PRINT maze.
