This math boggles me.
I come from an art perspective.
I first heard of Phi as the "golden ratio" and then the "divine ratio". I believe Polluck's paintings are accurate to the golden ratio. His seemingly "random" paint splatters actually come out to phi perfectly. I think the golden ratio is fascinating. And, not all human's are exactly accurate to the golden ratio. It is said that the more "beautiful" or aesthetically pleasing face possesses aspects of the golden ratio more than someone with an "ugly" face. It has to do with symmetry. How symmetrical are you? Is nature symmetrical? I'm not convinced that the recurring pattern's of phi prove a higher power or diety but I don't have any explanations as to why this number shows up so often other than symmetry. I do believe it shows that no matter how chaotic we think the world is, it is actually very structured. Chaos vs. order.. Asymmetry vs. symmetry. dischord vs. harmony/balance. Phi shows that there IS order, there IS symmetry and there IS balance..
