3 ion we start with a very simple self-similar example, which hen Random brick wall patterns isfy requirement [R3]. We take the 1 2 and 2 2 bricks with tion rules given by Take the 1 2 and 2 2 bricks with random substitution rules random : each expanded brick is replaced by one of the two possibilities with probability 1/2, independently of the other replacements.

5 Multi-type branching processes Tools? The theory of multi-type branching processes can be applied to obtain further information on these patterns.

6 -type branching processes can be applied to obtain further info patterns.

9 Random substitutions What means random? Physicists: Mathematicians: random = a lot of freedom. random = (Ω, F, P).

10 Entropy of what? σ random substitution (X comb, T ), with T the shift. X comb = set of sequences whose finite subwords occur in some word from Supp(σ n (a)), for some letter a A. h comb = lim N 1 N log(#{w : w = N, w a,n Supp(σn (a))}).

11 FibMorse substitution: Example (from David Wings thesis): 0 01 { σ : 0 with probability p, 1 10 with probability 1 p. Let A n = Supp(σ n (0)), B n = Supp(σ n (1)). A 1 = {01}, B 1 = {10, 0} A 2 = {0110, 010}, B 2 = {1001, 001, 01} A 3 = { , , , , , 01001}.

12 Where is the randomness? For FibMorse: tree-indexed Bernoulli process. where P(σ = σ 1 ) = p, P(σ = σ 2 ) = 1 p, σ 1 (0) = 01, σ 1 (1) = 10, σ 2 (0) = 01, σ 2 (1) = 0. Ω : space of labelled binary trees, where the labels are σ 1, and σ 2. Words generated by the process: choose 0 or 1 at the root, and then level 1 consists of the words 01, 10 or 0Λ, where Λ is the empty word. (σ j (Λ) = ΛΛ)

13 Labelled trees σ 1 (0) = 01, σ 1 (1) = 10, σ 2 (0) = 01, σ 2 (1) = 0. σ 1 0 σ 2 σ σ 1 σ 1 σ 2 σ Λ

14 Random substitution dynamical systems Let X σ(ω) = set of sequences whose finite subwords occur in some σ(ω) n (a), for some letter a A. The random substitution is called tree primitive if there is an N such that for all letters a A and all labeled trees T N with N levels the N th level contains all letters from A. PROPOSITION Let σ be tree primitive. Then for almost all ω Ω (X σ(ω), T ) = (X comb, T ), and h((x σ(ω), T )) = h comb.

15 Examples The Godrèche-Luck random Fibonacci, the random noble mean substitutions FibMorse are all tree primitive. Let σ be the quarter-plane random substitution from Koslicki: { 10 with probability p, 0 σ : 01 with probability 1 p. 1 1 Then for almost all ω we (still!) have X σ(ω) = X comb.
