Here you see four gray tiles on your left, seven gray tiles on the right.

The thermal tiles fall off.

Puzzle game based on hexagonal tiles

Complete the puzzle by matching numbered tiles

And all the tiles match up again.

The four blue tiles on the left are gray.

Disassemble a pile of tiles by removing matching pairs

This is literally the colored sequence of those tiles.

The seven yellow tiles on the right are also gray.

And we like to draw these tiles as little squares.

So, these tiles would make a complicated, self assembling checkerboard.

Where do you get lumpy tiles? Well, of course, you don't.

Clear the screen by removing groups of colored and shaped tiles

Because if they put tiles on top, it's just going to crash.

All right? Whereas on the right, the two tiles look nearly the same.

We're going to turn to another technology, called algorithmic self assembly of tiles.

We've got bubbles going up there, then suds at the top with lumpy tiles.

Here is a DNA origami rectangle, and here are some tiles growing from it.

It was work actually by Lionel Penrose, father of Roger Penrose, the tiles guy.

So if you affix some wires and switches to those tiles rather than to the staple strands, you affix them to the tiles then they'll self assemble the somewhat complicated circuits, the demultiplexer circuits, that you need to address this memory.

That is your perceptual reality. The physical reality is that those two tiles are the same.

Whereas on the right, the information is consistent with those two tiles being under the same light.

Try to end up with the tiles in numerical order, with the space in the bottom right

Wall to Wall Wal Mart?

We have two identical tiles, on the left, one in a dark surround, one in a light surround.

Here's the DNA origami, and what we can do is we can write 32 on both edges of the DNA origami, and we can now use our watering can and water with tiles, and we can start growing tiles off of that and create a square.

Notice that on the left the two tiles look nearly completely opposite one very white and one very dark.

KT There's a wall, there's a wall.

Her crossing the fragmented tiles, faltering at the step to the street, droning, not looking at me, Can you help me?

He just lay in the hospital bed, and, kind of, stared at the polystyrene ceiling tiles for a really long time.

So, what we've done is we've succeeded in making something much bigger than a DNA origami by combining DNA origami with tiles.

You stop by a wall, and start painting on that wall.

But I get a lot of toilets, and so you just dispatch a toilet with a hammer, and then you have lumpy tiles.

And we put down those little floor tiles, and then I went onto eBay and bought 150 pounds of Lego which is insane.

It was started by Erik Winfree, and what it does, it has tiles that are a hundredth the size of a DNA origami.

Decorative Wall

Every wall, every concrete wall is resisting the stresses and supporting the building.

And the point of this, if you didn't catch that, is that tiles are a kind of molecular program and they can output patterns.

So, you can come up with a set of tiles that when they come together, form a little binary counter rather than a checkerboard.

I'm not going to change those tiles at all, but I'm going to reveal the rest of the scene and see what happens to your perception.

Wall Street has collapsed. The present crisis, the fall of Wall Street, is to neo liberalism what the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 was to communism.

Wall Street for President?

Bringing Down the Wall

He said, I don't see the wall, and I'm telling you the same, Don't see the wall.

You zoom in, there are just four DNA strands and they have little single stranded bits on them that can bind to other tiles, if they match.
