Abstract
The discovery of icosahedral phase alloys by Shechtman et al. [1] has provided us with an opportunity to reevaluate many of our long-held ideas and prejudices about the relationship between positional order, bond-orientational order, and periodic translational order in condensed matter systems. Traditionally, we have grouped solids into two categories. Glasses are viewed as solids which, at best, can be characterized as having short-range chemical order. Crystals, at the other extreme, are described as a periodic stacking of well-defined unit cells, identically decorated with atoms, into structures which have long-range periodic translational order.

To some degree, this obstacle can be overcome by including specific defects in the tilings termed “decapods”;
