The '100 drawings' is a 100 pages series. The number 100 has no importance, the number of pages cold be fifty, hundred-fifty or thousand. There is no order of pages, there is no internal rhythm. Single pages has no composition. Every square centimeters of the drawings' surface has the same 'weight' (or has not.) All of the pages is a mathematically infinite structure, or (necessarily) a part of it. Nor the single pages neither the whole series (if can be said 'whole' anyway) not a completed, closed thing. The hundred pages is not a representative selection. (Hundred pages could not be a competent selection, simply too much to represent anything.) The '100 drawings' is simple heaping. The role of the number 100 to be 'many'.

The Penrose-tiling based structures are not symbols of the infinitely variable world. They are not symbols at all, but they are itself infinite variable structures. A single page, or all of the 100 it is, but the 100 shows more, than a single. The Penrose-tiling's structure does not appear in the nature (not in the living world, not in crystallography, not in quantum physics). So this is about nature.

Many people consider mathematics as tool to transform nature. They think it is an abstract language describing nature. A question can be asked in this language and the answer is applicable directly in the nature, as nuclear reactor, or bridge. Mathematics is much more, than this. By Roger Penrose mathematics is not a system constructed only from human statements. He says numbers existing entities, they are discovered by mathematicians or not.
