We construct a strongly local regular Dirichlet form on the golden ratio Sierpinski gasket, which is a self-similar set without a finitely ramified cell structure, via a study on the trace of an electrical network on an infinite graph. The Dirichlet form is the unique one that is self-similar in the sense of an infinite iterated function system, and is decimation invariant with respect to a graph-directed construction. The proof is based on a fixed point problem of a renormalization map, inspired by Sabot's celebrated work for finitely ramified fractals. Lastly, the Hunt process associated with the Dirichlet form satisfies a two-sided sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimate.
