##e. each way of subdividing a tile is called a tile type. each tile type is represented by a label ( usually a letter ). every tile type subdivides into smaller tile types. each edge also gets subdivided according to finitely many edge types. finite subdivision rules can only subdivide tilings that are made up of polygons labelled by tile types. such tilings are called subdivision complexes for the subdivision rule. given any subdivision complex for a subdivision rule, we can subdivide it over and over again to get a sequence of tilings. for instance, binary subdivision has one tile
