PCS 3 Sequence Explanation
Why are we using this strange looking numbering sequence for our activities (1, 3, 5, 8, 13) in this Conocimientos instead of the usual 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.?
The authors of this Conocimiento, Dras. Elizabeth Gonzalez and Maribel Jimenez, wanted to make a strong link between the studying of your identities to connect with the natural intuition and our inner selves. They chose the Fibonacci Sequence because it is another way to describe the way a snail shell spirals outward. The caracol is a compelling metaphor for how we also construct our identities, and particularly how our identities change over time and as we move through the different spaces or contexts of our lives.
What is the Fibonacci Sequence?
The Fibonacci Sequence is a famous series of numbers in mathematics. It begins with this series: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, and continues forever. Each number in the sequence is the sum of the two numbers that precede it.
In addition, it turns out if you divide the two pairs of numbers in the sequence, for example 5/3, 13/8, 21/13, you will get the same irrational number called phi, which is 1.61803. Mathematicians call this number phi the "Golden Ratio" as this relationship between the Fibonacci sequence of numbers actually describes many ratios in the cosmos that we experience. life structure. The Golden Ratio 1.61803, is the mathematical distance that describes many natural world structures such as flower petal distance to center of flower, the growth spiral of a snail shell from the center to the outer edge, and the distances within typical human face structures (for example, the distance between eyes and nose).
