The Golden Mean I believe that this geometric proportion served the Creator as an idea when He introduced the continuous generation of similar ojects from similar objects. J. Kepler (1571-1630) We start with a problem in aesthetics. Consider a line segment. What is the most "pleasing" division of this line segment into two parts? Some people might say at the halfway point. Others might say at the one-quarters point. The "correct answer" is, however, none of these, and is found in Western art from the Ancient Greeks ownward (art theorists speak of it as the principle of "dynamic symmetry"): A geometric definition can be given in terms of the above figure. Let the ratio x = BC/AB. The Numerator and Denominator can then be taken as AB = a and BC = x without loss of generality. Now define the position of B by Plugging in gives or which can be solved using the Quadratic Equation to obtain This quantity known as the Golden Ratio, Divine Proportion, etc. The quantity where is the Golden Ratio. The golden ratio conjugate is sometimes also called the Silver Ratio. Click on the icon for a GSP scritp to divide a segment in golden ratio.

The Golden Ratio : The Story of PHI, the Worlds Most Astonishing Number > Customer Review #1: Remarkable Catalyst for Thought

Author Mario Livio has added another wonderful book that bridges the gap between writings meant for the academic and for the layperson. "The Golden Ratio", was not quite as accessible as some other books that I have read, but it is certainly worth the extra effort even if many of the proofs found at the books end remain a mystery. The book spent a great deal of time disproving the myths of application that have been attributed to the remarkable relationships of the number PHI. Like the more familiar PI it is a decimal that has yet to be proven to ever repeat itself, and it demonstrates its presence both widely and in fascinating manners. Whether or not Mozart used the number or Leonardo DaVinci did, or even if a building long considered to be predicated upon the number truly is or is not, does not detract from the wonders of this numbers appearance.

The need to apparently make rational some choices has produced any theories, from epicicles, to welds and passing through golden mean. Aesthetical or sacred geometry theories in the past were well practiced for the plan and elevation design of many beautiful items, it seems, and so may bear some true value in this sense. But of course only as tools, for it was always design in the end what made it more or less beautiful. By completely discarding such theorizations one would ignore history and maybe would be losing some tool, but it would be equally wrong to discard the programmatic statement (written or not) of a building as an useful tool to ascertain if fit to use.

Golden Ratio
The golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion, golden mean, or golden section, is a number often encountered when taking the ratios of distances in simple geometric figures such as the pentagram decagon and dodecagon . It is denoted or sometimes (which is an abbreviation of the Greek "tome," meaning "to cut"). is a Pisot-Vijayaraghavan constant . It also has surprising connections with continued fractions and the Euclidean algorithm for computing the greatest common divisor of two integers Given a rectangle having sides in the ratio is defined such that partitioning the original rectangle into a square and new rectangle results in a new rectangle having sides with a ratio Such a rectangle is called a golden rectangle , and successive points dividing a golden rectangle into squares lie on a logarithmic spiral . This figure is known as a whirling square . The legs of a golden triangle are in a golden ratio to its base and, in fact, this was the method used by Pythagoras to construct

    Construct a square. Bisect the square. Draw a line from one end of the bisecting line to one of the opposite corners. Extend the baseline of the square. Using the diagonal line as the radius, drop an arc from the corner of the square down to the baseline. Draw a line from the point of intersection of the arc and the baseline, perpendicular to the baseline. Extend the top edge of the square to meet this line and form a rectangle. This rectangle is referred to as the Golden Rectangle

Drawing the Face of the Goddess Sekhmet using the Geometry of the Square Root of Five and Phi ø by Lady Sekhmet I spent most of 1996 and 1997 working on recreating illustrations for a book on the physics of consciousness. It promised to be a remarkable workrelating the language of emotion to science and to geometrical principles. To be able to accomplish my task, I learned the principles of sacred geometry. Only after I completed my part did I discover the book would not be published and would never be published. For a long time, I stewed in anger, frustration, and disappointment. I was never paid for my efforts. Sekhmet comforted me. She indicated that all was not lost. The gift was in the doing. Did I not gain the secrets of sacred geometry? By going through the entire process of drawing fundamental shapes and relating them to universal concepts, did I not now comprehend everything the author was trying to impart and in fact create images with more precision, more clarity, and more beauty than the author's originals? So it was in September of 1998 that Sekhmet inspired me to create an image of Her based upon the double square. My process appears below:

APPENDIX I
THREE TABLES OF THE GRAIL
Tradition relates that "Three Tables bore the Grail; they were round, square and rectangular. Each had-the same perimeter, and the number of the Three was Two-One.' This ambiguous description of Tables has served to perpetuate the image of the Grail being an object, such as a cup or platter. The Tables have been likened to those of King Arthur, Grail Castle, and the Last Supper. However, the 2-1 specification is an inherent tabular proportion of the Golden Mean, and has little to do with tables in the utility sense. The Golden Mean is a geometric progression employed by the Greek mathematician, Euclid, in the 1st century BC. In practice, however, it dates back far beyond Euclid to the time of Plato. The Golden Mean has been used as an architectural standard for proportionment, and is used today in sophisticated artwork, framing and design. Roughly speaking, it is a proportion of 5:8, but the precise mathematical ratio is .618:1. The subject is fully covered in Nigel Pennick's Sacred Geometry ch2, pp 25-28.

Louis H. Kauffman, Ph.D.
Mathematics: Full Professor, University of Illinois at Chicago. One of world's foremost experts in topology and knot theory. From the Affidavit of Louis H. Kauffman, Ph.D., 11 November 1994:
Quotation: Page 2, line 21 through Page 3, line 9:
"I have examined Mr. Winter's book, "Alphabet of the Heart," and his CD-ROM for Macintosh, "The Language of Geometry Animated," as well as Macintosh disks which were the precursors of the CD-ROM and contain much of the same material. In my opinion it is abundantly clear that Mr. Winter was inspired by Mr. Tenen's work to create a three dimensional computer image (using the program Aldus Super 3-D) that copies as best he could manage Mr. Tenen's design for a "flame letter" that projects the different letters of the Hebrew alphabet. I am fully aware that this flame letter is Mr. Tenen's individual design, as I had the honor of watching him evolve this design over the decade of the 1980's."
