The Cicada approach to game design

This article is written with web design in mind, (and is fascinating if you're a web designer like me) but I thought it could also apply to certain elements of game design.

    I love using tiles, so that is going to be one of my new favorite tricks.

    That may be a little obsessive for web design, considering that a decent sized background JPEG loads up easily on todays bandwidth
    (while half of it is being hogged by ad banners for movies, that spontaneously load streaming videos!)

    Still, interesting bio / math based theory! And who knows where else it can be applied?
    (musical beats? I do a similar thing with my synths, rotating notes at different intervals)

    Let us not forget much of the history of gaming is based on tiled areas
    and other forms of tokenization
