A Family of Non-Periodic Tilings, Describable Using Elementary Tools


We present a construction of a family of non-periodic tilings using elementary tools such as modular arithmetic and vector geometry. These tilings exhibit a distinct type of structural regularity, which we term modulo-staggered rotational symmetry. The construction is self-contained and does not rely on previous tiling theories or systems.
