In the US state of Nebraska, State Senator Ernie Chambers filed a suit against God seeking an injunction, in an effort to highlight the issue of public access to the court system. The suit was dismissed due to the fact that God could not be properly notified, having no address. The Judge stated "Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice".[1] The senator believing God to be singular and all knowing responded "The court itself acknowledges the existence of God. A consequence of that acknowledgment is a recognition of God's omniscience ... Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.

There are several ways to mathematically define quasicrystalline patterns.

One definition, the "cut and project" construction, is that a quasicrystal consists of a slice (an intersection of one or more hyperplanes) of a higher-dimensional periodic pattern. In order that the quasicrystal itself be aperiodic, this slice must not be a lattice plane of the higher-dimensional lattice. (For example, Penrose tilings can be viewed as two-dimensional slices of five-dimensional hypercubic structures.) Equivalently, the Fourier transform of such a quasicrystal is nonzero only at a dense set of points spanned by integer multiples of a finite set of basis vectors (the projections of the primitive reciprocal lattice vectors of the higher-dimensional lattice).[12]
