Fibonacci Sequence and Golden Ratio

The document discusses the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio. It explains that the Fibonacci sequence is a recurrence relation where each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. The golden ratio is approximately 1.618 and can be seen geometrically in a golden rectangle that is divided into a square and rectangle in proportion. This pattern occurs throughout nature in shells, flowers, and other biological forms. The document also discusses how mathematical patterns like the golden ratio represent infinity and the oneness of all things in the universe.

FIBONACCI SEQUENCE AND GOLDEN RATIO


 THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE :
The Fibonacci sequence is possibly the most simple recurrence relation occurring in
nature. It is 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89, 144… each number equals the sum of the two
numbers before it, and the difference of the two numbers succeeding it. It is an infinite
sequence which goes on forever as it develops.

 THE GOLDEN RATIO/DIVINE RATIO AND GOLDEN MEAN :

The quotient of any Fibonacci number and its predecessor approaches Phi, represented
as ϕ (1.618), the Golden ratio. The Golden Ratio is best understood geometrically by the
golden rectangle.

A rectangle unevenly divided resulting into one square and one rectangle, the square’s
sides would have the ratio of 1:1, and the new rectangle would be exactly proportionate
to the original rectangle – 1:1.618.

This iteration can continue both ways, infinitely. If you plot a quarter circle inside each of
the squares as they reiterate, the golden spiral is formed. The golden spiral is possibly
the simplest mathematic pattern that occurs in nature like shells of snails, sea shells,
horns, flowers, plants. Numbers are only what we use to organize quantitative
information.

The Golden Ratio can be applied to any number of geometric forms including circles,
triangles, pyramids, prisms, and polygons.

The golden ratio is formed by thirds within thirds, sixths, the connection between two and
three, including every even and odd number itself. The ratio itself represents the
transcendence of numbers, understanding our world is not numbers, but what numbers
represent. Through the spiral, the ratio illustrates how the numbers, all quantities, are
quality. Eventually, all quality can be represented through quantity. Properties qualitative
and quantitative are just labels of information, our gathered indisputable fact.

If you graph any number system, eventually patterns appear. In mathematics, numbers
and their patterns do not only continue infinitely linear, but in all directions. For example,
considering infinite decimal expansion, even the shortest segments have an infinite
amount of points. Our universe and the numbers not only go on infinitely linear, but even
its short segments have infinite points.

The golden ratio is not the only mathematical pattern that reaches infinity, there are many
other patterns as well that reach infinity. Knowing this, ask yourself, how could infinity
occur twice? If something were to happen infinitely, how could it happen twice?
The answer is simple, infinity represents what is eternal, what is truly whole. For example,
if infinity were to be used as a variable in mathematics like all other numbers, it would be
denoted as 1∞, 2∞, 3∞, 4∞, etc.

The oneness of everything factual is what you know, what you perceive, what you are
aware of, is all the universe looking at itself. This is the universe, even you are the
universe, us and everything we know is all the same thing. Since the numbers are
everywhere, everything is a part of a pattern. Reflections of reflections, wheels within
wheels.
