Thurston's modified conjecture on horospherical sections of the {3,5,3} honeycomb
Thurston's modified conjecture on horospherical sections of the {3,5,3} honeycomb
Take the honeycomb in and cut it along a horosphere. Consider the union of all icosahedra interior to, or intersecting, the horosphere; this defines a patch of the honeycomb in with infinite boundary . Thurston's modified conjecture. This boundary is equivalent to, or seeds the growth of, a Penrose tiling. The exact meaning of equivalence and the proposed construction are not made precise, and it is unclear whether this is merely a rephrasing of Thurston's rough conjecture or an essential change.
