Description

"Phi" is the number of God, the "golden ratio".
It's an irrational number, approximately 1.618.
The name "golden ratio" appears in the form "sectio aurea", golden section, by Leonardo da Vinci. The American mathematician Mark Barr first conceived of the use of the symbol φ to represent the golden ratio, taking it from the first letter in the name of the Greek sculptor Phidias, who was long believed to have used the golden ratio in his designs.
The wind of a shell's helix, the branches of a tree, the proportio rate between the segments of our body... The whole Nature obey to this number.

The marked cells are those that reveal this dimentional relation ["the whole is to the larger as the larger is to the smaller"].
The shell on background is a x-ray photograph.
