Tree conjecture for cyclic quadrilateral tiling billiards

Let γ\gamma be a periodic trajectory in a cyclic quadrilateral tiling, and let Ωγ\Omega_{\gamma} be the domain bounded by it. Tree conjecture for cyclic quadrilateral tiling billiards. Any periodic trajectory γ\gamma in a cyclic quadrilateral tiling does not contour tiles; equivalently, the domain Ωγ\Omega_{\gamma} bounded by it does not contain a full tile. This conjecture concerns the symbolic dynamics of cyclic quadrilateral tilings and is related, for locally foldable tilings, to the bounded-flower formulation involving singular trajectories.
