============
Tile construction
-----------------
The `$` runes construct [`++tile`]()s. [`++tile`]()s are one of our
primary building blocks in hoon, they define how we reduce our ASTs into
well typed nouns that nock can compute. You can think of a [`++tile`]()
sort of like a typeclass in Haskell.
</div>
#### Forks
##### [`++tile`]()s that can be one of multiple cases.
[`$?`]() Non-empty list of cases.
[`$|`]() Fork between atom and cell.
[`$&`]() Fork between cells whose head is a cell and cells whose head is
an atom.
<hr></hr>
#### Tuples
[`$:`]() Unlabelled arrays.
[`$=`]() Tuple with [`++face`]()s.
<hr> </hr>
#### Reductions
##### Important convenience methods for working with tiles, and are very broadly used.
[`$*`]() [bunt]()
[`$,`]() [clam]()
[`$@`]() [whip]()
