Occurrence of Fibonacci numbers in development and structure of animal forms: Phylogenetic observations and epigenetic significance

Beyond the Genetic Code:A Tissue Code?

“…Even the geometric proportions of the human body can be described by ratio of Fibonacci numbers (termed the "golden ratio") [23][24][25]. Fibonacci number patterns have also been reported to occur at intracellular and cellular scales including the organization of nucleic acid bases in DNA, (termed the "DNA supra code"; [26]), the replication of DNA [27], and clonal growth of human epithelial cells in vitro [28]. This appearance of Fibonacci numbers at different scales -molecular, cellular, organismic -when viewed from the concept of selfsimilarity suggests that a common underlying mechanism for these Fibonacci patterns exists.…”

Information-Processing Model of Concept Formation – Is First Language Acquisition Universal?

“…The fact that the Fibonacci pattern is often observed in living systems has focused the attention of many researchers from different domains (e.g., [53]). Surprising resemblances between plant cells and neurons have been discovered [2].…”

Algebraic Nexus of Fibonacci Forms and 2-Simplex Topology in Multicellular Morphogenesis

“…Multicellular organisms evolved from unicellular organisms in the Precambrian period 580 million years ago, and appear to have done so on more than one occasion [5]. Fibonacci forms are found among these organisms [6], and are found among primitive plants such as algae [7]. Nevertheless, the molecular or cellular mechanisms for its presence in multicellular organisms remain unknown.…”
