Figure 9.5 The Fibonacci triplet as a mathematical category. f = growth by a factor of F;
g = growth by a factor of F; h = growth by a factor of F^2. These mappings can be viewed
as representing the mechanisms of “replication with variation (RV)” that appears in bio-
logical development and evolution.

Table 9.2 Fibonacci numbers approaches the golden
ratio asymptotically.

galactic spirals (Figure 9.3(l)).
It is interesting to note that the ratio, F(n)/F(n – 1), approaches the
golden ratio when n is greater than 10, as shown in Table 9.2.
