Math::PlanePath::DekkingCurve -- 5x5 self-similar edge curve
use Math::PlanePath::DekkingCurve; my $path = Math::PlanePath::DekkingCurve->new; my ($x, $y) = $path->n_to_xy (123);
This is an integer version of a 5x5 self-similar curve from
This is also a horizontal mirror image of the E-curve from
The base pattern is N=0 to N=25. It repeats with rotations or reversals which make the ends join. For example N=75 to N=100 is the base pattern in reverse, ie. from N=25 down to N=0. Or N=50 to N=75 is reverse and also rotate by -90.

The little notch marks show which square each edge represents and which it expands into at the next level. For example N=1 to N=2 has its notch on the left so the next level N=25 to N=50 expands on the left.
All the directions are made by rotating the base pattern. When the expansion is on the right the segments go in reverse. For example N=2 to N=3 expands on the right and is made by rotating the base pattern clockwise 90 degrees. This means that N=2 becomes the 25 end, and following the curve to the 0 start at N=3.
Dekking writes these directions as a sequence of 25 symbols s(i,j) where i=0 for left plain or i=1 for right reversal and j=0,1,2,3 direction j*90 degrees anti-clockwise so E,N,W,S.
The optional "arms" parameter can give up to four copies of the curve, each advancing successively. Each copy is in a successive quadrant.

The origin is N=0 and is on the first arm only. The second and subsequent arms begin 1,2,etc. The curves interleave perfectly on the axes where the arms meet. The result is that arms=4 fills the plane visiting each integer X,Y exactly once and not touching or crossing.
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for the behaviour common to all path classes.
The optional "arms" parameter gives between 1 and 4 copies of the curve successively advancing.
There are 25^level + 1 points in a level, numbered starting from 0. On the second and third arms the origin is omitted (so as not to repeat that point) and so just 25^level for them, giving 25^level+1 + (arms-1)*25^level = arms*25^level + 1 many points starting from 0.
In the sample points above there are some line segments on the X axis. A segment X to X+1 is traversed or not according to
X digits in base 5
traversed if X==0
traversed if low digit 1
not-traversed if low digit 2 or 3 or 4
when low digit == 0
traversed if lowest non-zero 1 or 2
not-traversed if lowest non-zero 3 or 4
XsegPred(X) = 1,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,...
=1 at 0,1,5,6,10,11,16,21,25,26,30,31,35,36,41,...
In the samples the segments at X=1, X=6 and X=11 segments traversed are low digit 1. Their preceding X=5 and X=10 segments are low digit==0 and the lowest non-zero 1 or 2 (respectively). At X=15 however the lowest non-zero is 3 and so not-traversed there.
In general in groups of 5 there is always X==1 mod 5 traversed but its preceding X==0 mod 5 is traversed or not according to lowest non-zero 1,2 or 3,4.
This pattern is found by considering how the base pattern expands. The plain base pattern has its south edge on the X axis. The first two sub-parts of that south edge are the base pattern unrotated, so the south edge again, but the other parts rotated. In general the sides are
0 1 2 3 4
S -> S,S,E,N,W
E -> S,S,E,N,N
N -> W,S,E,N,N
W -> W,S,E,N,W
Starting in S and taking digits high to low a segment is traversed when the final state is S again.
Any digit 1,2,3 goes to S,E,N respectively. If no 1,2,3 at all then S start. At the lowest 1,2,3 there are only digits 0,4 below. If no such digits then only digit 1 which is S, or no digits at all for N=0, is traversed. If one or more 0s below then E goes to S so a lowest non-zero 2 means traversed too. If there is any 4 then it goes to N or W and in those states both 0,4 stay in N or W so not-traversed.
The transitions from the lowest 1,2,3 can be drawn in a state diagram,
+--+
v |4 base 5 digits of X
North <---+ <-------+ high to low
/ | |
/0 |4 |
/ | |3

0,4 \ | |1
\4 |0 |or no 1,2,3 at all

but allows usual DFA state machine manipulations to reverse to go low to high.
+---------- start ----------+

+-+
In state m1 a 0 digit loops back to m1 so finds the lowest non-zero. States start and m1 are the same except for the behaviour of digit 2 and so in the rules above the result for digit 2 differs according to whether there are any low 0s.
The Y axis can be treated similarly
Y digits in base 5 (with a single 0 digit if Y==0)
traversed if lowest digit 3
not-traversed if lowest digit 0 or 1 or 2
when lowest digit == 4
traversed if lowest non-4 is 2 or 3
not-traversed if lowest non-4 is 0 or 1
YsegPred(X) = 0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,...
=1 at 3,8,13,14,18,19,23,28,33,38,39,43,44,48,...
The Y axis goes around the base square clockwise, so the digits are reversed 0<->4 from the X axis for the state transitions. The initial state is W.
0 1 2 3 4
S -> W,N,E,S,S
E -> N,N,E,S,S
N -> N,N,E,S,W
W -> W,N,E,S,W
N and W can be merged as equivalent. Their only difference is digit 0 going to N or W and both of those are final result not-traversed.
Final state S is reached if the lowest digit is 3, or if state S or E are reached by digit 2 or 3 and then only 4s below.
For arms=2 the second copy of the curve is rotated +90 degrees, and similarly a third or fourth copy in arms=3 or 4. This means each axis is a Y axis of the quadrant before and an X axis of the quadrant after. When this happens the segments do not overlap nor does the curve touch.
This is seen from the digit rules above. The 1 mod 5 segment is always traversed by X and never by Y. The 2 mod 5 segment is never traversed by either. The 3 mod 5 segment is always traversed by Y and never by X.
The 0 mod 5 segment is sometimes traversed by X, and never by Y. The 4 mod 5 segment is sometimes traversed by Y, and never by Y.
0 1 2 3 4
*-------*-------*-------*-------*-------*
X X neither Y Y
maybe maybe
A 4 mod 5 segment has one or more trailing 4s and at +1 for the next segment they become 0s and increment the lowest non-4.
+--------+-----+-------+
| ... | d | 4...4 | N == 4 mod 5 X never
+--------+-----+-------+ Y maybe
+--------+-----+-------+
| ... | d+1 | 0...0 | N+1 == 0 mod 5 X maybe
+--------+-----+-------+ Y never
Per the Y rule, a 4 mod 5 segment is traversed when d=2,3. The following segment is then d+1=3,4 as lowest non-zero which in the X rule is not-traversed. Conversely in the Y rule not-traversed when d=0,1 which becomes d+1=1,2 which in the X rule is traversed.
So exactly one of two consecutive 4 mod 5 and 0 mod 5 segments are traversed.
