Science meets Culture = PHILOTAXIS

Science seeks to explain human behavior through physical methods, trying to find why that action caused a reaction in human activity or human understanding. In culture you involve the activities and experience of humans, and how they relate with experiences either material or symbolically . Here is were we met Internet a big universe where science meets culture, Phylotaxis is a project developed for Seed Magazine by Jonathan Harrys.
The structure is derived from Fibonacci Sequence related to the Golden Ratio
Do you remember any diagram? like a big pyramid full of numbers making sequences 1+1+3+5+8+13+21…. but with plants yo can see the meaning were science meets culture and THAT IS PHYLOTAXIS.
Back view:
The 3 sepals that protected the bud are outermost, then 5 outer green petals followed by an inner layer of 5 more paler green petals.
The two sets of 5 green petals are outermost, with an array of purple-and-white stamens (how many?);in the centre are 5 greenish stamens (T-shaped) and uppermost in the centre are 3 deep brown carpels and style branches)

Tha plant itself form a sequence with a ratio. Also seen in the seed heads of a plant, check this out.

You can see that the orange “petals” seem to form spirals curving both to the left and to the right. At the edge of the picture, if you count those spiralling to the right as you go outwards, there are 55 spirals. A little further towards the centre and you can count 34 spirals. How many spirals go the other way at these places? You will see that the pair of numbers (counting spirals in curing left and curving right) are neighbours in the Fibonacci series. all the seeds being the same size, no crowding in the centre and not too sparse at the edges.
Mixing science with culture represents the balance in humuan activity because evolving the randomness of culture and the rational thinking of science, we get to see how this world without the randomness of culture and the rational thinking of science the world would be in chaos. That’s why Phylotaxis represents the balance between science and culture.
People is creating their own identity with all the online sources, blogs, virtual communities, we get to create something that is beyond human control.
The different changes happening in the world not only for science, it lead us to different ways; which is creating the world identity; where we are all connected no matter in which direction; we are always in the same node.
Create knowledge.
Peace.
