Thurston's modified conjecture on horospherical sections of the {3,5,3} honeycomb

From papers

Take the {3,5,3}\{3,5,3\} honeycomb in H3\operatorname{\mathbb{H}}^3 and cut it along a horosphere. Consider the union of all icosahedra interior to, or intersecting, the horosphere; this defines a patch SiS_i of the {3,5,3}\{3,5,3\} honeycomb in H3\operatorname{\mathbb{H}}^3 with infinite boundary Si\partial S_i. Thurston's modified conjecture. This boundary Si\partial S_i 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.
