	Golden ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The philosophy of Summum, a sect of about 200,000 adherents that has incorporated the golden ratio into the design of their Summum Pyramid winery in Utah, maintains that because it is the human mind that interprets the characteristics and qualities of the golden ratio, it should be considered in its relation to the human psyche.
		Nevertheless, some of these ratios are observed to be quite close to the golden ratio in the shape of the organs or parts which closely follow some basic geometrical shape (such as the Nautilus shell, whose construction proceeds in a logarithmic spiral).
		From a mathematical point of view, the golden ratio is notable for having the simplest continued fraction expansion, and of thereby being the "most irrational number" worst case of Lagrange's approximation theorem.

		He took Leonardo's suggestion of the golden ratio in human proportions to an extreme: he sectioned his model human body's height at the navel with the two sections in golden ratio, then subdivided those sections in golden ratio at the knees and throat; he used these golden ratio proportions in the Modulor system.
