Fibonacci: Nature's Pattern and Human Behavior

You’re looking at a sunflower. The seeds don’t line up in neat rows — they spiral.

Count those spirals in each direction and you’ll often hit familiar numbers: one,

two, three, five, eight, thirteen… the Fibonacci

sequence. The same pattern pops up in pinecones, pineapples, succulents,

even the way some shells grow. It’s not magic. It’s efficiency. When a plant adds

new leaves or seeds, it “wants” to pack them so each one gets light and space without blocking

the others. The most “non-overlapping” turn you can make, again and again, comes from a special

ratio tied to the golden ratio — a number that represents the ultimate kind of uneven spacing.
