My question is, It repeats aperiodically and predictably, like a Fibonacci ? Or aperiodically and unpredictably ? Like a prime numbers ?

- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoIt'll be predictable. Other aperiodic tilings (e.g. Penrose tiles) look to have regular patterns from a quick glance, but those patterns won't have translational symmetry despite looking vaguely symmetrical.
- fanf2 3y agoThe proof that the tiling is aperiodic comes with a recursive algorithm for generating tilings.
- paulddraper 3y agoThe proof doesn't have to be constructive
