A potentially infinite process controls the development of these images. The process is difficult but not impossible to describe. It could be extremely boring to list all the steps required, and insufficient to help visualize the final image. Just covering a few guidelines, imagine six equilateral polygons including a heptagon and tetradecagon, all constructed with internal angles divisible by π/7. Arrange them edge-to-edge with no gaps and no overlaps. The radial pattern should have seven (or fourteen) fold symmetry, and be extendable forever. In my solution, outer rows of regular heptagons alternate with rows of equilateral hexagons and a rhombus.
