Paper

2018

DIA BAS (the death's god in celtic Galician) because it is a mathematical derivation of the Hilbert's Curve, the ashes renaissance of the Hilbert curve. There are several magics in this transformation of a curve that fills the plane in another that -almost- describes a human figure. There is no symmetry in the Hilbert curve. Here we have a figure with lateral symmetry. Galician magic.
