Aug 9 at 3:10 comment added Ville Salo Joel's two questions are equivalent: if there is a horizontally periodic point, you can find a totally periodic point by the pigeonhole principle by finding two equal rows and repeating the area in between.

Feb 13, 2013 at 3:21 comment added grok @Joel: both questions are valid. I'm interested in understanding the current status, so extra restrictions are also welcome: periodic in one or two directions; or require deterministic tiles (for every corner, horizontal and vertical label, there exists at most 1 tile with these labels in that corner). I'll vote you up if nobody comes up with a complete argument within a few days :)
Feb 11, 2013 at 16:20 comment added Joel David Hamkins My question was whether it would count as periodic if the pattern repeats only in the horizontal direction, but the columns are not periodic vertically. I assume not. If periodic in both directions, then you can assume period is the same via least-common-multiple.
Feb 11, 2013 at 16:16 comment added Gjergji Zaimi The tilability question is undecidable even if we restrict the tiles to be rectangles.

Feb 11, 2013 at 15:02 comment added Joel David Hamkins By periodic, do you mean periodic in both directions?
