Pertiling. Moreover, the present island is self-similar, as is made obvious by using variable-widths hatching. That is, each island divides into seven "provinces" deducible from the whole by a similarity of ratio r=1/ 7. I denote this property by the neologism pertiling, coined with the Latin prefix per-, as used for example in "to perfume" = "to penetrate thoroughly with fumes".

OBS

See "tiling".
