  Golden ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shapes defined by the golden ratio have long been considered aesthetically pleasing in Western cultures, reflecting nature's balance between symmetry and asymmetry and the ancient Pythagorean belief that reality is a numerical reality, except that numbers were not units as we define them today, but were expressions of ratios.
The explicit expression for the Fibonacci sequence involves the golden ratio and its conjugate.
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.

 Golden ratio
The use of the symbol φ to represent the golden ratio was invented by the American mathematician Mark Barr and taken from the first Greek letter in the name of the Greek sculptor Phidias, who was long believed to have used the golden ratio in his designs.
The ancient Greeks already knew the golden ratio from their investigations into geometry, but there is no evidence they thought the number warranted special attention above that for numbers like \pi (Pi), for example.
The ratio is sometimes used in modern man-made constructions, such as stairs and buildings, woodwork, and in paper sizes; however, the series of standard sizes that includes A4 is based on a ratio of \sqrt{2} and not on the golden ratio.

 Golden ratio
The golden mean was found throughout nature, in the structure of nautilus shells, the size of leaves, the branching patterns of trees, and in the human body.
The Greeks thought that the golden mean described the dimensions of average, and by inference "ideal", body features such as the face and the torso, and the proportions of arms and legs to the size of the body.

Conjugate is a word with many (fairly related) meanings, and it's no surprise that technical definitions in two fields such as geometry and algebra have taken divergent meanings.
Also, the claims that the Greeks purposefully used the golden ratio in their architecture is unsubstantiated and has been refuted in particular cases, such as the Parthenon.
Rossi is rather skeptical about theories that have tried to see the Golden Section in Egyptian architectural design as the preferred ratio, even though she does acknowledge that it was one of the proportions used by Egyptian architects, along with the proportions of the triangles already mentioned.

Of the two regions of the sphere separated by $\ell$, the positive one is the one whose orientation agrees with $\ell$.
Since the first homology of the sphere is trivial, the ratio is a 1-coboundary, \ie, $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ differ by a 0-cochain.
In the second case, the factorization principle says that $\det(A(Z))$ is in the form $a^2\bar{a}^2b^4c^6$, where $b$ and $c$ are integers and $a$ and $\bar{a}$ are conjugate elements in $\Z(\tau)$, because the available representations have dimensions 2,2,4, and 6.

Her misfortune, in casting a cloak of golden proportion over the Villa Emo, is that, unlike the quintessential studies of, say, M Borissavlievitch [1958], or R A Schwaller de Lubicz [1977], Palladio has given the actual measurements.

It is established the Golden Proportion is universal constant of the Solar system describing connection of the solar light to photosynthesis processes on our planet; it ensures a relative constancy of gas composition of atmosphere, and also harmonic ratio in gas exchange of the alive organisms (Jasinski).

This means that a phase conjugate wave exactly retraces the path of the original beam.
This has the useful property that if a light beam propagates through a distorting medium, and then the phase conjugate is produced, this phase conjugate exactly retraces the path through the distorting medium.
Phase conjugation can be used to make double pass amplifiers that do not distort the original beam structure.

The Golden Mean is therefore intrinsically dynamic, its action is one of perpetual reciprocal oscillation, exactly and uniquely replicating the dynamics of the unit circle.
What this investigation of the dynamics of the Golden Mean tells us is that it is an analogical, optimum mathematical paragon of energy efficiency: and that this is achieved as an ultimate means of generating the maximum complexity of information structures of energy and matter, at the lowest energy cost.
The Golden Mean, because of its supreme economy, elegance and capacity for analogy, because it resides where it does in dynamical systems behaviours such as within the biosphere, is therefore also the ultimate metaphor for sustainability.
