Abstract: For a locally finite set in $\mathbb{R}^2$, the order-$k$ Brillouin tessellations form an infinite sequence of convex face-to-face tilings of the plane. If the set is coarsely dense and generic, then the corresponding infinite sequences of minimum and maximum angles are both monotonic in $k$. As an example, a stationary Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is locally finite, coarsely dense, and generic with probability one. For such a set, the distribution of angles in the Voronoi tessellations, Delaunay mosaics, and Brillouin tessellations are independent of the order and can be derived from the formula for angles in order-$1$ Delaunay mosaics given by Miles in 1970.
