Making things that folks find attractive seems to have a universal principle operating on some sort of Fractal Harmony in the Noosphere.
In my experience the Fibonacci Numbers, when used as a design guideline never fail.

Any 2 of the numbers in the sequence are reliable.
Where the magic starts is combining 3 in the sequence...

1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34-55-89-144
Take the 1st measurement in a project and apply the proportions of the Fibonacci Numbers...
 
A simple Maker's gateway to bypass the complicated mathematics of
The Golden Mean of 1:1.618

It is a mystery that philosophers and artists have struggled with for millennia...
Is it a Universal Principle?
Just a construct of our base 10 mathematics?

It's simple and it always works...Like a principle of Lao Tzu...
Seems like the Tao in Action to me!

The new video on You Tube is a 4000 .jpg stack of Ray Tracings and models the USGS DEMS of the Grand Canyon in an exaggerated way to possibly resemble the Uranus system's frozen and broken moon Miranda. The YT licensed music is by John Serrie…Space music artist extraordinaire…
Landscapes of the mind
 
At the edge of the solar system, Uranus & Neptune would be the 1st planets that automated explorers would encounter coming in from other systems.

Learning the constellations and associated multicultural lore of the stars, is one activity we practice… It helps keep things in perspective…


Fractal Mystery in The Forever Tree
 

The Drake Equation is always a good conversation vehicle and we never tire of running and discussing the scenarios. My results always come back at a very low fraction of one. There are plenty of Drake Equation Tests out there with a simple search. Try it.

The Broken Ice Moon of Uranus is named after Miranda in The Tempest...
 
Our radio signals have reached out in a hundred light year bubble that encompasses 3-5 thousand star systems and considering the low numbers I find in Drake, its probably not a thing to lose sleep over. But if some AI does come calling, my new Windhawk Survey Series on YT is how it might start…Its also hats off to Neal Asher’s Polity Universe…CPD (Can’t Put Down) Science Fiction like no one else.
Kind of a King, Gaiman, Herbert mash up…
