Comment Comment by nilirl Even after reading the Wikipedia entry I couldn't intuit what Aperiodicity means.Does it mean simply lack of pattern? But that doesn't seem to be the case, at least visually.Just last month I wrote a post about how Mendeleev's real genius was in how we went looking for periodicity [0] and how that helped predict elements.Does aperiodicity have any cool properties that help in specific domains?[0] https://www.nair.sh/guides-and-opinions/communicating-your-e... parent nilirl 5 months ago
