It has to do with how the systems scale, and without the supporting math it sounds pretty much like mysticism. If you have two systems based on the same harmonic ratio, but at a different scale... in all probability the interactions between the systems where they overlap will be destructive. But when you overlay systems based on Phi (and sqrt(2) and e) you can end up with a third harmonic, also based on Phi (or sqrt(2) or e), in the overlapping region... because of the way that complex mathematical functions on these values are analogous to simpler functions. So the individual systems, and the combined systems remain coherent and stable... rather than fighting it out, each trying to overpower the resonance of the other system.

How clear is that?
