Let's try to generate the lower of the two lines without the upper. | |||
Looking at the length 2 address squares | |||
we see these transitions must be allowed | |||
3 → 1, 4 → 1, 3 → 2, and 4 → 2 | |||
Here are the table and graph. From the graph it should be clear that this IFS generates no picture at all. | |||
The lower line of this pair cannot be generated by itself. Similarly, the upper line cannot be generated alone. | |||
This pair of lines can be prodcued only as a unit. | |||
For another way to see this, observe that the lower line consists of T1(upper line) and T2(upper line). | |||
Similarly, the upper line consists of T3(lower line) and T4(lower line). | |||
