Generic non-embeddability conjecture for cut-and-project quasicrystal tiling spaces

Let EE_\parallel be a dd-dimensional linear subspace of Rn{\mathbb R}^n with irrational orientation, and let L(E)\mathcal L(E_\parallel) be the associated cut-and-project Delone set. Equip its tiling space with the combinatorial metric, where the distance between two tilings is the inverse of the largest radius on which their patches at the origin coincide. Generic non-embeddability conjecture. For Lebesgue almost all dd-dimensional linear spaces ERdE_\parallel\in{\mathbb R}^d, viewed as points in the Grassmannian manifold of dd-dimensional subspaces of Rn{\mathbb R}^n, the tiling space of L(E)\mathcal L(E_\parallel), endowed with the combinatorial metric, is not ff-embeddable. This is proposed by analogy with the Sturmian result, where ff-embeddability is characterized by bounded type; the source gives no resolution of the generic higher-dimensional claim.
