Double silver dragon 4-symbol substitution; characteristic polynomial x^4-4x^3+4x^2-4.
The existence of the two polynomials silver: x^4-2*x^3+x^2-4 and double silver: x^4-4x^3+4x^2-4 suggests that a Kenyon-like polynomial of a general form: x^4-p*x^3+q*x^2-r might exist with substitutions associated to it.
