Oct 18, 2011 at 23:37 comment added john mangual My point is both shapes necome squares rotat ed 45° but maybe height function in scaling limit goes from 0 to 1 in first case and stays at 0 in the second. So boundary conditions are different? So inside limit height depends on microscopic conditions on boundary

Elkies There's certainly some "microscopic" dependence, because just removing one of the two central rows of the first picture produces a similar-looking shape with only one domino tiling! But this effect is accounted for by the "height function" of the boundary.
