R110 · Penrose-style aperiodic tiling growing

blind round 8/11 local models answered

Every answer below carries the name of the model that wrote it. Blind refers to the scoring: the review was done without knowing which model produced which answer — the published result names them.

2 of the 11 local models delivered nothing through our test harness in this round — for reasons that lie with our setup, not with the models. Those cards are marked DNF like any other, but they are not evidence about those models — the reason is noted on the card itself.

Show task
Create ONE self-contained HTML file (STRICT LIMIT: max 7000 characters in total — this is a budget on characters, not on lines, so removing line breaks does not help) that grows an aperiodic rhombus tiling on a <canvas>: start from a small seed of thick and thin rhombi arranged around a common centre, then repeatedly subdivide every rhombus into smaller ones according to the substitution rule, redrawing after each generation so the pattern becomes visibly finer without ever repeating periodically. Cycle back to the seed after a few generations. Show the generation and the tile count. Smooth requestAnimationFrame animation, NO user input, starts immediately and keeps running (restart with a fresh random instance when finished). No external libraries, no comments needed. Output ONLY the HTML file content, nothing else.

The answers

Local models (Brain cluster) — identical prompt, shuffled order (the sequence is not a ranking)
