From a maths standpoint, I’m curious what the analogy to numbers is. Would this tile be like an irrational number? A prime number? But in 2d space?

- hgsgm 4y agoIn 1D you can't have a single shape tile aperiodically, since there is no room for variation. You could make a 2D diagram of the integers with they prime factorizations, which is aperiodic, but nearly periodic, but requires an infinite set of different "tiles". Perhaps you could take an irrational or transcendebtal number, and take its multiples or powers mod 1, to get an aperiodic nearly periodic sequence.
