A "landscape" made from cylinders, arranged in a Fibonacci spiral and with heights determined according to the "Fibonacci metric", which assigns to each positive integer the number of Fibonacci numbers that are needed to sum to the integer. The Fibonacci numbers are the sequence of tall towers.

  • @Encysted The description tells most of the story. There is one cylinder for each integer (from one up to a couple of thousand I think). Cylinder n is placed at angle n * phi * 2 * pi and radius sqrt(n), where phi is the golden ratio. The height is related to the "Fibonacci metric" as mentioned in the description. The smaller the "metric", the higher the cylinder.

  • First! Anywho, how does the three dimensionality correspond to the Fibonacci sequence?
