The superficial similarity is striking.

Unlike Penrose tilings, your tiling is based on the number 4 and 90° angles.
(due to the Macaroni part geometry). Quite the same for Erling brick (for the
same reason). Both of them (could) lead to fractal patterns.
A challenging way of research with LEGO parts are odd number geometry (5,7)
in mosaïcs, Technics,...i’m wondering if it exist a LEGO part that does
naturally lead to an odd geometry.

I don’t know that much about tiling patterns, but I can see that all my LEGO
patterns so far have been based on a certain pattern of bricks being turned by
90° angles. And I also wonder if someone could use LEGO bricks to create a
non-90° angle tiling pattern. Not that there’s a lack of nice varieties just
among the 90° angle patterns.
