Re: what is it?

Re: what is it?

very interesting...but,  1 : 1.6180339 is not = 1.6180339 - 1
One is a ratio, the sum of the other is a decimal
what i find interesting is where the square root of 5 came from?

I  assume its from a theorem that im not familiar which you have employed.
Can you possibly elaborate further.?

I am not a mathematician, im an artist, so forgive me if my maths are 
not up to scratch.
