TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:4609193 L3 - citeulike-article-id:4609193 N2 - Fibonacci phyllotaxis is one of many examples that demonstrate the relationship of biological growth patterns with the golden mean and self-similar symmetry, also observed in scale–rotational crystal growth. An equivalent relationship of natural-number patterns with the structure and periodicity of atomic matter is demonstrated. A generalized, closed periodic law that reveals the hidden symmetry in the periodicity of atomic matter is derived and related to the variability of electronic configuration of atoms, as a function of thermodynamic conditions, to nuclear synthesis and to the DNA code.
