Putting 'not' in title, per https://mathoverflow.net/questions/420094/polyomino-that-can-cover-an-arbitrarily-large-square-but-the-entire-plane#comment1078870_420094

| Apr 10, 2022 at 20:41 | comment | added | Magma | You might be referring to the phrase "all but X", which is an old fixed phrase which is used as either "all except X" or "almost X", and you aren't allowed to separate the words "all" and "but" so the meaning of "all" must be implied in the first usage. | |
| Apr 10, 2022 at 20:05 | comment | added | trotzt | Well I saw the use of such a phrase, without not. Maybe I got something mixed up idk | |
| Apr 10, 2022 at 19:25 | comment | added | trotzt | @J.W.Tanner Yeah, not sure if this is ok, my english is not the best lol | |
| Apr 10, 2022 at 19:22 | comment | added | J. W. Tanner | In the title, did you mean but not the entire plane? | |

| Apr 10, 2022 at 16:47 | comment | added | trotzt | So tile for which every method of tiling is inevitably terminating, and there infinitely many different such methods, that was my idea, kinda. | |
| Apr 10, 2022 at 16:28 | comment | added | trotzt | @RolandBacher But can it be that each square has such a pattern that is a subpattern only in a finite number of larger squares? | |

| Apr 10, 2022 at 15:06 | comment | added | Roland Bacher | That is not possible by a sort of compacity argument : Given a sequence of larger and larger tilings, extract a subsequence agreeing on larger and larger tilings and go to the limit. | |
| Apr 10, 2022 at 15:06 | comment | added | Joseph Van Name | If $S_{n}$ is a tiling that covers the $2n\times 2n$ square centered at the origin, then since the space of tilings is compact, you can take a subsequence of $S_{n}$ that convergences to a tiling of the entire plane. This is just Konig's lemma. | |
