Long ago, my counterpoint teacher, Hugo Morden, introduced us to the Golden Ratio (or Mean) in musical composition. He had published a little book, Form: The Silent Language, which had materials on golden triangles, etc.

The ancients thought this ratio was a sign to the divine order of the cosmos. While I as a theologian would not accept that, it is endlessly fascinating, as your creative article demonstrates.
