Anyam gila triangles as triple-decker sandwiches

In these images, the straight-cut edges represent scarps (i.e., the actual edges of weaving elements,) while the pinked cuts represent cuts that are merely artifacts of dividing the fabric surface into triangles (i.e., each pinked weaving element actually continues beyond the cut.)

Anyam gila triangle as a triple-decker sandwich: the tunnel edge.

Where there is a scarp on the front or reverse face, the two continuing layers shift up or down to take its place (and a scarp on the other face of the neighboring triangle arrives to fill the vacuum.)
