20. This resemblance may have deep reasons, because both the moiré fringes and the aperiodic quasi-crystalline tilings are discrete in the reciprocal space. Discreteness of the diffraction patterns in the absence of spatial periodicity is an intrinsic property of quasi-crystals, fixed in a modern definition of a crystal by the International Union of Crystallography, Acta Cryst. 1992, A48, 922-946.
