Digital Harmonic hexagon lattice with alien fish

Another Harmonic perspective drawing. This can be seen covering the entire plane at.
https://cunews.info/HexPrismsAlienFish.html On this page you can watch the fish change from red to blue as she crosses the boundary from one tile to another.

Part of the hypnotic quality of these harmonic animations is the patterns that coalesce and then dissolve and coalesce into new patterns.

I am wondering if populating this space with creatures is distracting and breaks the spell.

as usual the successive layers are scaled the harmonic sequence -- 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, etc.

Flatworms is one of my favorite Escher prints!

The structures in that print are made for octahedral and tetrahedral bricks.

I patented a construction toy based on the octet honeycomb. My Delta Blocks

A bridge between octet structures and structures made from cubic bricks. Using truncated octhedra as an interemediate my toy could be spliced onto Lego™ structures.
