It should be (I could create it as a complex numeration system), but time is up for now; have to postpone it. Indeed _all_ my "tiles" should correspond to a numeration system, being rep-tiles, being doable as an IFS.

Great, offer will stand. I have a student exploring ways to present these curves in a setting like math-museum; the "amoeba flow" would be a very welcome addition (we thought of it, but I found no time so far and she doesn't want to program). Best, jj

Here's Julian's evidence that it is indeed rep13: gosper.org/jjstar.png (site just froze--can't test) To get Julian's original solid fill, {}->{0}. Why wasn't this found earlier? Mandelbrot would have amygdalated with envy. It easily rivals the Kochflake and Franceflake, and will soon(?) have a large Googleprint. --rwg
