The ant begins on the inner corner of a subtile.
On a white tile, turn 90 degrees right, flip the color of the tile, then move forward until reaching a new tile, moving as far as possible within the tile.
On a black tile, turn 90 degrees left, then continue as above.
The chair tiling used for this automaton is, like all aperiodic hierarchical tilings, not unique (see for example Goodman-Strauss, p. 490). See "Remarks, 2019" in links for clarification which tiling the ant lives on.
