rules of nature?

I didn't write it down from your talk yesterday, can you tell me again what the rules of nature were?

its called the Golden Rule, the ratio of 1.61.

It is based upon a mathematical series called the Fibonacci series. the series is the addition of one number with the one previous.

1+1 is 2
2+1 is 3
3+2 is 5
5+3 is 8
8+5 is 13

and it goes on such....
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,33,54,87 etc

now the golden rule is that any number in the series divided by the number before it equals aproximately 1.6.

take 21/13 equals 1.615
13/8 equals 1.625

as the numbers larger they all become 1.61 and this is the golden number or ratio.

It is often called the 3-5 rule since these numbers are easy to remember, but do not divide to 1.61 itself, but 1.66....

does that help at all?
