Two squares of a Peano curve have been concatenated and transformed into a circular pattern. In this way the curve is closed across the circle area. Normally, the Peano curve begins at a corner of a square and ends at the opposite corner. This third order tessellation contains 2 * 27 * 27 = 1458 tiles. Each direction of the tube turns to each other direction, giving 4*3=12 combinations. Because the tessellation is a checkerboard of “black” and “white” tiles, a total of 24 images are input. That's why the plumber (made by CoPilot) runs on opposite sites on the straight tube parts.
