Cosmic Source Code - Engendering The Beautiful Spiral Blueprint
Why does Beauty Matter?
Beauty matters because it expresses and reflects the integrity of the universe. The universe exists because it is an expression of beauty. It is in this sense an art form.
Why does anything matter at all?
Posterity? Progress? Preservation? All three perhaps?
This piece of writing emphasizes the intrinsic motivational aspect behind why the universe exists.
Descriptions are not explanations but reasons are. A worthwhile question: From the point of view of information, does the universe conform to any kind of data structure? Is the ubiquity of spirals significantly reflect the data structure in the universe? We investigate its significance..
Whatever we may feel within us regarding something which we deem valuable, something has to strike a chord within us, whether it is in response to external stimuli or otherwise.
Beauty is associated with love. Beauty is the objective form of love, which is subjective. Love is subjective while beauty is objective.
Love for beauty is inherent - or shall I say, a constant - factor of the human condition over and above reasons in connection with posterity, progress or preservation.
Beauty grips the imagination in ways that linger.
Imagine the following - If the question: "Does truth matter?" were posed to you, the answer would be a resounding "Yes, truth does matter." Why does truth matter? Because untruth would be destructive, even self destructive. In this case, contexts does not matter as much as its meaning. Untruth brings with it a destructive even boomerang effect.
If the question: "Does beauty matter?" were posed to you,why should your answer be any different from "Does truth matter?"
But the fact is that most people do not or cannot make the connection between truth and beauty.
Beauty extends truth in lovely ways. Beauty manifests itself in truth in ways that reinforce the intimate connection between both of them.
Ontologically, the realm of principles - which is associated with geometry - stands above the realm of manifestation because principles engender manifestation, not the other way round.
Therefore in terms of ontology, truth stands above beauty although truth is intimately close to beauty.
How is objective beauty measured? Is there a universal measure for beauty? Guess what, the realm of nature gives us the clue: the criterion is rooted in the Golden Ratio.
Mathematically, the Golden Ratio can be expressed as the relationship between two numbers in such a way that it results in only one number which is usual known as phi = a/b=(a+b)/a = 1.618..
There is no arbitrary element in the Golden Ratio because the emergent value does not change. The ratio phi is immutable and is the permanent feature, objectively, of the cosmos and also subjectively, of consciousness.
Intuitive phi proportion recognition is inherently built into human consciousness. Phi proportion recognition is the inherent objective criterion that lies within human consciousness.
The universe from the smallest atoms to the largest galaxies conform to the phi criterion. It is because of its beauty that the universe exists at all.
Below shows how the Golden Ratio is conceived.
The way to conceive the ratio is by step (1) constructing what is known as the Golden Rectangle as shown below
Step 2: Join up the apices to form the Golden Spiral
Finally, we get the Golden Spiral
Some of the names given to this spiral is the Golden Spiral, the Equi angular Spiral, the Logarithmic Spiral, and the Growth Spiral.
The feature to note is that the Golden Spiral looks exactly the same under any scale. It is scale free or to use a geometric expression, the logarithmic spiral is a self-similar spiral.
The logarithmic spiral preserves shapes and angles which really is the criterion for beauty.

The shape that one can see above occurs at every level in the universe, from the smallest atoms to the largest galaxies.
Art above, so below..
The ancient peoples could fathom that beauty was all over the universe at every level and so they expressed the cosmic blueprint by drawing spirals on rocks all over the world.
Why? Because it is beautiful. There was intrinsic motivation behind the drawing of petroglyphs worldwide.
The picture below is a famous spiral known as the Signal Hill petroglyph.
More about the petroglyph here:Signal Hill Petroglyphs - https://www.nps.gov/sagu/learn/historyculture/upload/Signal-Hill-Petroglyph-Brief.pdf
Is there a code associated with the shape in question?
The answer is yes there is.
We get the source code for the universe from the Fibonacci numbers of the logarithmic spiral.
Fibonacci spiral tends to the logarithmic spiral as the Fibonacci numbers run to infinity.
We can infer the existence of a deep structure from the Fibonacci spiral by reflecting on the function call stack which engenders the spiral.

By replacing all f(x) with numbers and you get the Fibonacci sequence.
This produces the following matrix equation below. The tree structure above is derivable from the matrix equation below.
Finally, the source code emerges: nibbles of 1110, or 0111..
The source code for the universe is given as continuous nibbles of 1110.. or 0111..
This is the way we should analyse the structure of the universe.
The universe is a space complexity phenomenon which is why it lends itself to space complexity analysis. The source code that engenders the universe is directly connected to beauty.
There is an intimate connection between the cosmic source code and the beautiful spiral blueprint. The universe is a comprised of curvilinear drawings.
The spiral blueprint is the result of the source code that engenders a certain beautiful result.
Any other way of analyzing the universe that does not factor in the beauty of the spiral will bring about a contradiction at some level.
The universe is a beautiful space complexity phenomenon that lends itself to space complexity analysis.
Because the universe is beautiful, its beauty needs to be preserved on earth. As long as one creates structures that conform to the cosmic beauty criterion, it should last a very long time. The architectural principles that engender the universe is of supreme quality.
Below shows a plan view comparison between two seeming disparate phenomena, the tree and the galaxy.
Both these phenomena are connected in that they both express the same beauty principle.
One such structures on earth that express beauty is the Great Pyramid of Giza, which has withstood the test of time. Let's not vandalize it..
More about that here: The Great Pyramid of Egypt closely embodies Golden Ratio proportions - https://www.goldennumber.net/phi-pi-great-pyramid-egypt/
Beauty brings truth closer to one's heart. Beauty inspires humans to great heights.
Beauty is intrinsically present in the natural realm.
I will end by stating that the logarithmic spiral is a self-similar spiral, which means that it looks exactly the same under any scale. In other words, we see the same shape whether we zoom in or out. The logarithmic spiral is by definition a fractal, which is a self similar shape that preserves angles (and curves).
Fractal geometry deals with self-similar shapes. We have come across at least one self-similar shape in this piece of writing which is the logarithmic spiral.
There are many more examples of fractals, which are manifested in nature as well as studied for its mathematical properties but that would be outside the scope of this post.
An attractive site that deals with fractal geometry would be http://benice-equation.blogspot.com
The reason why we feel at peace in nature is because the love for nature is structurally built into our consciousness via fractal geometry. The imperative for our consciousness is to recognize that fractals are the roots of all natural phenomena.
The realm of fractals is the objective form of our subjective consciousness.
