NOTE: The central patch which settled the conjecture is a chunk of an infinite repetitive configuration composed of 2x2 "blocks" and S-looking shapes "snakes". Given that the block-square pattern is somewhat well known…
Plenty of patterns are stable (in fact, infinitely many), but what we didn't have before today is a stable pattern which cannot be constructed from scratch. This is such a pattern, because the patch in the middle must…
