"Believing" in Fibonacci?
Many pilgrimage to the leaning tower of Pisa, but unbeknownst to those multitudes... in the 80's I visited his statue at a small park, up the river at the eastern access to the old town. I downed a beer and cursed the pigeons in Giardino Scotto that had their way with him.
Since the restoration and relocation in the early 90's, within the Piazza dei Miracoli, in the Camposanto (the ancient cemetery next to the cathedral)... in a corner stands a statue (the original work of Florentine, Giovanni Paganucci). This restored statue wears the scars of the fascists and WWII, with the fingers on both hands missing.
The likeness of the statue is a work of fiction as no contemporary portraits of the subject exist, nor does anyone know what his appearance might have been. Hardly visited, barely noticed, with a visage derived from fantasy, but many do know what the sequence and constants as noted in "Liber abaci", look like in nature, and that they flow through all scientific disciplines and everything that surrounds us in this universe.
A good friend of mine who was running his Elliot, calculus and trig market algo's became obsessed as to how markets seem to constantly arrive at inflections involving Phi, down to the micro wave. He would talk for hours on the subject and how of all the scientific constants in existence, Phi was constantly popping up.
One day, I painted an analogy for him, if he was sitting in a boat in the ocean, and fell out, what would he likely hit? It was a deer caught in the headlights moment.
I led the witness, 71% of the earth's surface is covered by it, oceans hold 96.5% of the planets supply, by weight it composes 95% of the average adult male, by element it composes 60% of the average human. He muttered, water?
I responded, yes, and to draw a parallel with your Phi encounters, and you know how I like to mock the religious theory of omnipotence by stating that my brand of atheism is the purest, truest and only... but, if there is an artifact or fingerprint of a "master programmer" in this construct, 0.618 and 1.618 might be it.
Leonardo "Pisano" Bonacci showed us the way in 1202, look what we've done with it (and the Chrysler Cordoba) since. Don't be so surprised that your always running into it, its like water, its all around, even when your not in it or near it, have been baptised in it, or "believe" in it. You just never know, and no one ever will.
