Sequence
In 1981 Shambhala Publications published The Power of Limits: Proportional Harmonies in Nature, Art and Architecture by György Dóczi, a Hungarian architect. The book was a near instant success. Its contention rippled through the ether of mysticism and wonder – an iconic “meme” for artists, mathematicians, stock brokers, the counter-culture and inquiring minds seeking a code to health, wealth and happiness.
Dóczi argues that the Fibonacci Sequence – an infinite series of numbers where the next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it – creates a pattern that is seen in nature at all scales.
The pattern geometrically is a “logarithmic spiral, characterized by the golden section’s proportions … and called the pattern of ‘whirling squares.’” In nature, the nautilus and fiddlehead are the often cited examples of this spiral.

The Fibonacci “limit”
Two sections or quantities are in the Golden Ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. This proportion is also defined by the Golden Mean or non-repeating number Phi (Φ) = 1.618033988749895…

Below is a DigiFLIP 4-D Puzzle Card … a cleverly constructed paper template by Relyco paper company (relyco.com) that folds like a Chinese puzzle in on itself. The paper is run through a desktop printer – front and back – producing a unique marketing promotion for illustrating whatever … for me, the Fibonacci Sequence.
