There there "elementary" resources on [Penrose Tilings][1] in relation to noncommutative geometry? It's all a big blur to me. There are two transformations S and T that can grow the tilings and every tiling corresponds to a sequence of S's and T's. Somehow, there is a C* algebra related to this. Can the elements of this algebra be interpreted as observables in a quantum mechanical system? What is the "geometry" of this noncommutative space? ![alt text][2] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling [2]: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Penrose_Tiling_%28P1_over_P3%29.svg
