Composite Flowsnakes

In the case of flowsnakes composition of IFSs generates new tiles for the combination of the cis- and trans-flowsnakes of a particular order.

The number of elements increases rapidly. There are two novel tiles with 49 (72) elements, 6 with 343 (73) elements, and 2 with 361 (192) elements. Assuming that the construction remains productive there are 2 with 1369 (372) elements, 12 with 2401 (74) elements, 2 with 6561 (812) elements, 6 with 5859 (193) elements, and so on. Composing flowsnakes of different orders gives 8 tiles with 133 (7×19) elements, 8 with 259 (7×37) elements, and so on.

If the cis-flowsnakes are denoted Gn and the trans-flowsnakes Gn then the order 49 tiles are G1.G1 and G1.G1.

The order 133 tiles are G1.G2, G2.G1, G1.G2, G2.G1, G1.G2, G2.G1, G1.G2 and G2.G1.
