It's funny, when I first heard about this, my first though was that it could have been discovered by a non-mathematician. it's one of these artefacts which make intuitive sense and can (at least at first glance) be verified to work fairly easily. For example finding a counter-example to a conjecture by accident has a much higher probability to happen if it concerns concrete objects such as tillings, because there are many more people manipulating them than there are mathematicians actively trying to solve the problem in the abstract

I would probably explain the construction process this way: subdivide an equilateral triangle, add reflections of some of the subdivisions, then finally add a reflection of one of the reflections.
On my feed I've seen a number of "beginner" Youtube channels discuss this, but yours is the first experienced channel to take it on. Thank you.
BTW, I made a little mathematical discovery of my own a month or two ago, not a breakthrough, not a solution to any problem, but just something that made the mathematicians I shared it with say "oooh, shiny".

Reading up on it, the guy who discovered it, David Smith, found the patterns it made (or lack thereof) curious and told a computer scientist friend about it, Craig Kaplan.
It makes me wonder how many deep mathematical objects were serendipitously discovered by people just playing around, and how many never got announced because they had no idea how significant it was.
