Clearly there's an underlying structure and unity to things that seem to be complex and aperiodic.

显然有一个潜在的结构和统一性，藏在看似复、期性的事物之下。

In mathematics, this is a property known as aperiodicity and the notion of an aperiodic tile set using only two tiles was such a sensation, it was given the name Penrose tiling.

在数学中，该属性被称为“期性”，仅瓷砖组成的期性瓷砖组合轰动一时，以至于被命名为“彭罗斯铺砌”。

But not only is life complicated, life is also aperiodic in the sense that every event, every happening, every decision will make the future unfold differently, often in ways that are impossible to predict.

但人生不仅仅是复的，它还是期性的，每一个事件、每一个决定都会改变未来的走向，而通常我们都无法预测。
