Penrose Tiling Inflation / Deflation

P3 rhombus tiling — thick (fat) and thin (dart) rhombs, deflated into smaller tiles each generation

Generation: 0 | Tiles:
Deflation replaces each rhomb with smaller rhombs in ratio φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618. Thick rhombs (36°/144°) → 1 thick + 1 thin; Thin rhombs (72°/108°) → 1 thick + 2 thin. The tiling is aperiodic — no translation symmetry, yet has 5-fold rotational symmetry.
