Abstract: The goal of this chapter is to illustrate a generalization of the Fibonacci word to the case of 2-dimensional configurations on

m a t h b b Z^{2}

. More precisely, we consider a particular subshift of

m a t h c a l A^{m a t h b b Z^{2}}

on the alphabet

m a t h c a l A = 0, d o t s, 18

for which we give three characterizations: as the subshift

m a t h c a l X_{p} h i

generated by a 2-dimensional morphism

p h i

defined on

m a t h c a l A

; as the Wang shift

O m e g a_{m} a t h c a l U

defined by a set

m a t h c a l U

of 19 Wang tiles; as the symbolic dynamical system

m a t h c a l X_{m a t h c a l P_{m} a t h c a l U, R_{m} a t h c a l U}

representing the orbits under some

m a t h b b Z^{2}

-action

R_{m} a t h c a l U

defined by rotations on

m a t h b b T^{2}

and coded by some topological partition

m a t h c a l P_{m} a t h c a l U

of

m a t h b b T^{2}

into 19 polygonal atoms. We prove their equality

O m e g a_{m} a t h c a l U = m a t h c a l X_{p} h i = m a t h c a l X_{m a t h c a l P_{m} a t h c a l U, R_{m} a t h c a l U}

by showing they are self-similar with respect to the substitution

p h i

. This chapter provides a transversal reading of results divided into four different articles obtained through the study of the Jeandel-Rao Wang shift. It gathers in one place the methods introduced to desubstitute Wang shifts and to desubstitute codings of

m a t h b b Z^{2}

-actions by focussing on a simple 2-dimensional self-similar subshift. SageMath code to find marker tiles and compute the Rauzy induction of

m a t h b b Z^{2}

-rotations is provided allowing to reproduce the computations.
