Abstract

We present an order structure for tiling substitution systems of the plane. The order structure gives rise to a space filling curve which is defined over an iterative system akin to the given tiling substitution. We use this space filling curve to define a label set on the original tiles, inducing a new tiling with a factor map to the original. On the other hand, our new tiling also defines an almost one-to-one factor map to a one-dimensional tiling obtained from ‘flattening’ the space filling curve. We view this as a way of reducing dimension, giving new insights on 2-dimensional substitution tilings using symbolic dynamics.
