I’m doing a little something and pondering upon labyrinth construction.

Are there really just two essential ways to construct a labyrinth? Folded and pathed?

In the image below I’ve done what I call “double”, “half” and “half nested”.

“Double” can be expanded to triple, quadrupel, … etc.  
“Half” can be expanded to half nested nested, half nested nested nested … etc

Edit: From the “Double”, one would close of possible routes going backwards, so if two routes, close one… etc. Nested is a full-fledge labyrinth already in the construction.
