Penrose tilings are 2D slices of a 5D periodic lattice. Here we show the 1D analogue: projecting a 2D square lattice at angle arctan(1/φ) produces a Fibonacci sequence of Long and Short intervals. Rational angles give periodic patterns; irrational angles (like 1/φ) give aperiodic patterns with sharp diffraction peaks.
