Infinite-order triangular tiling
In geometry, the infinite-order triangular tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane with a Schläfli symbol of {3,∞}. All vertices are ideal, located at "infinity" and seen on the boundary of the Poincaré hyperbolic disk projection.

Other infinite-order triangular tilings
A nonregular infinite-order triangular tiling can be generated by a recursive process from a central triangle as shown here:
gollark: Doesn't seem to be true.
gollark: I'll have to check this.
gollark: Or using `fs.delete` or `fs.move`.
gollark: Well, it doesn't stop you `fs.open`ing it as far as I can tell, for one thing.
gollark: PotatOS has several hundred lines of code for this (thousands depending on how you count them) and still security flaws are discovered every... month or so?
