It would be helpful to have a way to associate one variable piece of data with another variable piece of data - which dict keys can be used for. Without changing the structure of dict, quoting a string to an atom would make this possible. A workaround I'll use will be to filter a set of tuples where the first part of the tuple corresponds to the 'key.' Regarding an attempt to create an aperiodic tiling https://www.math.brown.edu/reschwar/MFS/handout7.pdf and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling#.
