It’s only the 15th tiling pattern for pentagons ever discovered, and they only did it with the help of a computer program that Von Derau wrote. Pentagons present a unique problem in geometry.

That single geometric pattern repeats thousands of times at different magnifications (self-similarity). For that reason, fractals are often likened to Russian nesting dolls.
