Self-assembly is the process in which the components of a system, whether molecules, polymers, or macroscopic particles, are organized into ordered structures as a result of local interactions between the components themselves, without exterior guidance. In this paper, we speak about the self-assembly of aperiodic tilings. Aperiodic tilings serve as a mathematical model for quasicrystals - crystals that do not have any translational symmetry. Because of the specific atomic arrangement of these crystals, the question of how they grow remains open. In this paper, we state the theorem regarding purely local and deterministic growth of Golden-Octagonal tilings. Showing, contrary to the popular belief, that local growth of aperiodic tilings is possible.
