1-dim Penrose tiling = "musical sequence"? Why?

[QUOTE="nomadreid, post: 6029677, member: 112452"] Thanks, Asymptotic. That is as good a guess as I suppose is possible without a definitive answer from Conway (John Horton) himself. He's 80 now, and trying to get an answer from him would probably not be a Good Thing. Unfortunately, as I do not have access to a decent academic library (for access, for example, to the three books of Conway's that Gardner cites) and the Internet comes up with nothing (unless I wanted to order all those books), I will have to assume that Conway's love of music made him stretch an analogy a bit far. Or maybe this is what music looks like for the "creatures" from Conway's Game of Life. [/QUOTE]
