Dear Rolf Mertig,
Using you program I was able to get a better
version level 14 of the
{p,q,r}={1,1,1}
It turns out to be the border of Rauzy's first Pisot tile.
I had a version of that border tile from box counting experiments
and they are the same apparently.
So Dr. Richard Kenyon has invented a new border method
that is parallel to the older "body" tile method.
It is based on a six sign symmetrical substitution instead of a three 
substitution method.
This pretty much makes Kenyon the most advanced scientist in the tiling 
field at the moment. I think with his body of work he should be a 
Field's medalist, since this seems to be a singular advance to the 
tiling field of mathematics.
