Explain


Let's use Wikipedia's definition: a number is a mathematical object(symbol) used for counting, measuring and labeling. Counting, measuring and labeling, have one common thing; they are about entities. And entities are energy forms.

So numbers are symbols that allow us to relate energy forms.

And words? They are symbols that confer 'meaning' and 'utility' to these energy forms.


I see what you mean.

I am enjoying watching words lose their 'meaning' but maintaining their 'utility'.It's been good my friend.I finally found what I've been searching for.Wish you the best in your search.


The journey never ends @symbols. Now and then the traveller finds an inn, but there's no time to settle and rest.

But something has also snapped into place in my mind. Let's say that it's a firmer footing on the golden path. The golden ratio. Where everything changes even form, but lasts forever.


Parable of the sower.


Like in, the seed that fell on fertile ground became a tree that never died?


I bow out.


Why bow out?


It's not a line I'd like to pursue but also as a sign of respect.

There is something I'm driving at, as regards to golden ratio and the body, the earth (creation) and maths. I need keen eyes of kina @hamburger, @dunghard etc. Those who primarily use reason and logic above anything else.

One more time on the sign in human body
Take the center of body mass (normal human), the mass below and above is equal. Then focus on the length of the body now. You'll find that it matches dolden ratio A:B is B:C etc

NOTE: reference

Paper e.g. A4
Uses approx golden ratio to create most beutiful, most functional paper size.

TV e.g. 1280x800 HD
Gives beautiful picture by using golden ratio 1.6

The golden rectangle
Remember your high school maths, the fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89...
The next number is the sum of the previous two numbers.

We can also draw a rectangle with the fibonacci number's ratio. From this rectangle we can then derive interesting shapes. First colour in two 1x1 squares on a piece of squared paper:
1. Then draw a 2x2 square on top of this one:
2. Then draw a 3x3 square to the right of these:
3. Then draw a 5x5 square under these:
4. Then draw a 8x8 square to the left of these:
5. Then draw a 13x13 square on top of these:
6. We could go on like this forever, making bigger and bigger rectangles in which the ratio of length/ width gets closer and closer to the Fibonacci number.


More interesting shape from the golden rectangle
Let's try making a more interesting shape, going back to our first 1x1 squares and using a compass
1. place the compass tip on the top right hand corner of the right hand square and draw a semi circle:
2. Then place the compass tip on the bottom left corner of the 2x2 square and draw an arc:
3. Then place the compass tip on the left hand, top corner of the 3x3 square and do the same:
4. Do the same for the other three squares to obtain:


This shape is widely found in nature, can you find any other examples? Yes, the seashells.
