Triangle belong to tile

Tiles are building with triangles. But it is useful to define conditions for a triangle that to be considered part of the tile in order to delimit spatial extension of the graphical pattern.

Definition 3   A triangle $ t_n$ belongs to a tile $ m_i$ , typed $ t_n\in m_i$ , when $ m_i$ lost its tile's properties, after that $ t_n$ is removed from $ m$ .

Essentially tile's properties are two[*] neither holes nor overlaps. But we must add the condition that the cover be composite by legal patches. The first part of these conditions is not complished normally.
