Gaskets

The IFS {T1, T3, T4} has attractor the gasket with vertices (0,0), (0,1), and (1,1).
Consequently, this matrix generates the gasket: no transformation is followed by 2, so T2 is never applied, yet all other combinations are allowed.
 
Setting to 0 all entries in any column produces the corresponding gasket. Here is another example.
What happens if instead we set to 0 all the entries in a row of the matrix? Think before looking here.
Can we generate gaskets using forbidden triples?
Forbidding four triples could be the equivalent of forbidding one pair, so try to find four triples that have the effect of, say, making a gasket by forbidding transformation 4. Here is the answer.
Can we build four gaskets by forbidding triples? Here is the answer.
