Fractal figures. Seen a lot in Nature.
Originally shared by Corina Marinescu
The Harriss spiral is constructed from rectangles in the ratio of the plastic number (1.3247…), in a similar way to how a Fibonacci spiral is created from rectangles in the related golden ratio (1.6180…). These plastic rectangles can be split into two smaller plastic rectangles, leaving a square. Recursively splitting the rectangles, and drawing curves in the squares gives this fractal spiral.
I just want to say merci beaucoup to matthen for all his work, absolutely addictive!!
