(...) The golden ratio is related to a different sequence: the ratio between consecutive numbers of the Fibonacci sequence approaches Phi. Or phi, if you go backwards. So, if the monolith were golden-ratio realated, its sides in the primary three (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Mathematics aside, it's been a long time since I read the 2001 series (2001, 2010, 2061, 3001), but I recall that in one of 'em, there's a statement with the idea that the monolith is based on squares starting at 1, and the thought went on to (...)
