| tikfish commented on 11.02.02 | | I also just noticed that the blue on the right hand side covers exactly the perfect amount of space under the 'golden mean' rule for making the perfect visual compostion. The Golden Mean (or Golden Section), represented by the Greek letter phi, is one of those mysterious natural numbers, like e or pi, that seem to arise out of the basic structure of our cosmos. Unlike those abstract numbers, however, phi appears clearly and regularly in the realm of things that grow and unfold in steps, and that includes living things, such as hedges and mattresses.
The decimal representation of phi is 1.6180339887499... |
