Introduction
As explained in detail in Connes' [1], Penrose fractal tiling constitutes mathematically a quotient space X.Using this fact A. Connes following earlier work due to von Neumann deduced a dimensional function which we generalize to a simple formula function linking both the Menger-Urysohn topological dimension and the corresponding Hausdorff dimension.
The present work is subdivided into three main parts.First, we show an explicit application and generalization of the Connes' dimensional function.Second, we derive the Hausdorff dimension of the Hilbert space which X represents.Finally, we show the relevance of these results in high energy physics and cosmology.

The Dimensional Function and the Hilbert Space
Let us start from the Connes' dimensional function for the Penrose universe [1]: Writing D n (a n , b n ) and using the Fibonacci sequence, it is easy to see that, starting from the seed D 0 = D(0, 1) and D 1 = D(1, 0), we obtain the following dimensional hierarchy: ( By complete induction, one finds We obtain an exceptional Fibonacci sequence F φ (n): 2
The nth Fibonacci number is given by the formula which is called the Binet form, named after Jaques Binet, where φ −1 and −φ are the solutions of the quadratic equation x 2 = x + 1: The Binet form of the nth Fibonacci number of the F φ (n) sequence can be expressed similar to the classical Fibonacci sequence: The Fibonacci sequence F φ (n) can be presented as an infinite geometric sequence: The Golden Section principle that connects the adjacent powers of the golden mean is seen from the infinite geometric sequence.
The formula for the nth Fibonacci number is clearly identical to the bijection formula of E-infinity algebra and rings, namely [2,3], Here, n is the Menger-Urysohn topological dimension which should not be confused with the embedding dimension and d (n)   c is the Hausdorff dimension whose topological dimension is n.To see that this extends in a simple fashion D(a n , b n ) to negative dimensions [4], we set n = −1 and find that the empty set is structured and possesses a finite Hausdorff dimension equal to φ 2 because Now, we claim that X is effectively a random Hilbert space and is four dimensional topologically speaking while the Hausdorff dimension is given by [5][6][7] dim The zero set is given by In an analogous manner, we see that the topological dimension is given by dim In other words, although X has a finite average topological dimension equal to 4, its formal topological dimension is infinity so that it is a real infinite-dimensional Hilbert space.Thus, the fact that does not contradict the fact that the formal dimension is ∞ because 4 is an expectation value of the topological dimension in exactly the same manner that 4 + φ 3 is the expectation value of the Hausdorff dimension.This fact is easily grasped when remembering that a random Cantor set has, according to Mauldin-Williams theorem, a Hausdorff dimension equal to φ.Consequently, building a space X from the union and the intersection of infinitely many such random Cantor sets gives us a hierarchal infinite-dimensional Cantor set with an average Hausdorff dimension given by the centre of gravity theorem [8][9][10]: exactly as anticipated.
In fact it is well known from the work of Jones and Sunder's [11] and Connes' that the Hilbert space L 2 (N) is It was shown in the E-infinity theory that [1,12] dim as well as This clearly shows that X is a Hilbert space as claimed.This very special Hilbert space is fixed by three and not only one dimension.It is formally infinite dimensional.Secondly, it has a finite average topological dimension equal to 4. Thirdly, it has a finite average Hausdorff dimension equal to 4 + φ 3 = 4.23606797.The infinite hierarchal nature of X is reflected in the continued fraction expansion [13]:

Relevance in High Energy Physics
With dim X (H) at hand we can obtain a plethora of results in high energy physics by applying a simple intersection theory.As an example, we consider determining the value of the inverse electromagnetic fine structure constant α o ∼ = 137.To do that, we generalize the two-dimensional Penrose tiling with dim X (H) = 4 + φ 3 to a holographic boundary for a compact E-infinity manifold obtained from the fuzzy version of E8E8 exceptional Lie symmetry groups for which we have [3] dim where k = φ 3 (1 − φ 3 ).
Thus, intersecting dim X (H) with the Narain lattice of superstring compactification with its well-known 80 dimensions gives dim holographic boundary = 4 + φ 3 (80) where 336 are the dimensions of SL(2, 7) Lie group and the 16k comes from the compactification.Noting that the number of symmetries of pure Einsteinium gravity in eight dimensions is exactly equal to 20, then we can write the fundamental equation of the E-infinity theory as follows: Bulk = holographic boundary + gravity + electromagnetism.which is the integer approximation of the well-known experimental value.It should be noted that the 339 is the number of gluons-like states at ultra-high energy.

Cosmology
The vital role of the most irrational number, namely, the golden mean in the KAM theorem, is well understood and used extensively in the theory of quantum chaos.A similar role is played by the golden mean in the VAK [3] as well as the theory of vague torus [14] which links classical chaos and quantum mechanics.In some sense, the irrationality of φ is a substitute for the lack of friction in quantum Hamiltonian dynamics and gives elementary particles their stability.Researchers in cosmology have suspected for a long time that the Kirkwood gaps [14,15] in the asteroids belt are due to the resonance instability connected to the lack of irrationality in the corresponding winding numbers and thus the lack of stability of the concerned orbits.We can transfer the same cosmological argument to high energy physics and claim that the hierarchal problem is due to similar stability considerations.It is reasoned in the E-infinity theory that the α o and φ quantization observed in the mass spectrum of elementary and composite particles is due to φ stability of KAM [14,15].

Conclusion
Penrose tiling is an incredibly rich but basically simple structure which is quantum mechanical in its very essence.It is a generic example of noncommutative geometry and the E-infinity theory.Penrose tiling may be generalized to 4 dimensions.The Hausdorff dimension in this case is 4 + φ 3 and when intersected with the 80-dimensional Narain lattice one obtains the compactified Klein modular space.In all these circumstances, the golden mean which was recently discovered experimentally in a quantum system plays a central role [16].The golden mean is the organizing centre for the Connes' dimensional function as well as the Jones' index.The irrationality of this most irrational number could be drawn into explaining the stability of elementary particles and the hierarchal problem (the desert hypothesis) as well as in explaining the Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt.
