Dodecagonal (Stampfli)

Twelvefold diffraction symmetry, square-triangle tiling order
quasicrystaldim 2D with 12-fold3 metrics

What It Measures

Does the signal have twelvefold diffraction symmetry — the signature of square-triangle Stampfli tilings?

Tests for spectral self-similarity at the dodecagonal ratio (2 + sqrt(3) = 3.732...) and also checks sqrt(3) scaling, which relates to the triangle height in square-triangle tilings. Dodecagonal quasicrystals (found in Ta-Te and V-Ni-Si alloys) have the highest rotational symmetry known in real quasicrystals.

Metrics

dodec_phase_coherence

Phase-aware spectral self-coherence at the dodecagonal ratio (2 + sqrt(3) ~ 3.732). Tests whether complex spectral structure (not just power) repeats under scaling by the inflation factor of square-triangle Stampfli tilings.

z_sqrt3_coherence

Spectral self-coherence at sqrt(3) scaling, corresponding to the triangle height/base ratio in the tiling. EEG signals show moderate scores — brain oscillation bands have frequency ratios near sqrt(3) between adjacent bands (theta/alpha/beta).

pisot_triplet_coherence

Combined coherence across the three Pisot-Vijayaraghavan numbers associated with 12-fold symmetry. Wave Height (0.82) and Fibonacci QC (0.80) score highest. fBm and logistic periodic orbits score 0.0. The PV numbers for dodecagonal tilings form an algebraic triplet whose simultaneous spectral presence is a stronger test than any single ratio.

When It Lights Up

Dodecagonal tests for the highest rotational symmetry known in real quasicrystals (12-fold, found in Ta-Te and V-Ni-Si alloys). The sqrt(3) coherence in EEG signals is an interesting cross-domain finding, though likely reflects harmonic relationships in neural oscillation bands rather than genuine dodecagonal order.
