I have this really cool idea of asking Ramsey Theory questions on tilings (tessellations).
Classical Ramsey theory asks what is the minimum number of people one needs to invite to a party in order to have that every person knows m mutual friends or n mutual strangers.
I was thinking about coloring a tiling red and blue and asking similar questions, but I'm not sure what would be interesting. I have thought about this for a couple of weeks.
Basically, Ramsey Theory is simply asking "how many elements of some structure must there be to guarantee that a particular property will hold?"
I'm just not sure how to come up with an interesting question!
