Nature by Numbers, it shows that there are patterns in every area. The area of a shell,
and even to the shape of a square. In a flower, its petals and its pollen, The distance of each
line to a specific angle on a wing, the eyes of a bug. Everything leading to an equation; to a
degree, to a graph that shows absolute level of precise randomness.
There is a certain arrangement given by the chances of nature. The multiplying of
shapes and patterns found on tree branching and ferns. A spiral that leads to a point like a
hurricane or to be condensed in an area as to be more durable, like plants and pinecones. It
could also be a Voroni pattern that looks like a spider web type of shape; a tight shape that
favours efficiency, it could be found in the cell of leaf, a honeycomb, or even a pattern on the
skin of an animal. As mentioned at the start, the patterns that we see are chances, yet can be
correlated to a mathematic equation; from Pythagoras to Fibonacci. Fibonacci is one of the
most well-known equation in detailing the repeating pattern of an angle moving down to the
center-- forming a spiral. It can also hint on the life cycle of an animal, as pondered by
Fibonacci in the breeding of rabbits; assuming that their life cycle is a cycle that continues
forever. There is also the honeycomb conjecture proven by Thomas Hales in 1999. It can also
be found in music. Pythagoras was the first to mention that musical harmonies have patterns.
The patterns also on the cracks. Ever so random and overlooked, yet because of this
arrangement of patterns, evident from any type of cracks, they can pinpoint when and where
a crack may appear and to determine when it could become a hazard. Patterns could also be
found on waves, it-- the waves of the water crashing on the beach side or even a wave of sound
travelling around because of fallen plate.
Geometric code, the golden ratio, the patterns on our lungs. In physics, like the
patterns of an atom. In architecture, the arrangement of the tiles and the curve of an arch. In
the Cosmos, the spiralling of the milky way, the wave inputted in ventilator by the beat of our
hearts. Even on our DNA, its connection to an RNA and the its curve. On puzzles, the
reflection and refraction of light on water. All of these things are found all around us, even in
nature. All the seemingly random patterns and occurrences are proven to be a mere equation
in mathematics.
