Golden Ratio — Application Areas

Golden Ratio — Application Areas

🌱 Nature

  • Spirals of shells (e.g., nautilus)
  • Arrangement of sunflower seeds (relation to the Fibonacci sequence)
  • Patterns in pine cones and pineapple scales
  • Body proportions of fish and wing patterns of butterflies
  • Spiral structures of galaxies

🎨 Art & Design

  • Leonardo da Vinci’s compositions (e.g., “Vitruvian Man”)
  • Michelangelo and Renaissance architectural composition
  • Facade proportions of the Parthenon
  • Modern art and contemporary architectural facades
  • Photography and film framing (golden spiral guides)

πŸ“ Mathematics & Engineering

  • Golden ratio as the limiting ratio of the Fibonacci sequence
  • Harmonic frequency ratios in acoustics
  • Electronics design (dimensions of antennas and resonant systems)
  • Balanced proportions in mechanical design

πŸ“± Modern Applications

  • Brand design (e.g., Apple and Twitter logos)
  • Web layout (golden rectangles and golden grids)
  • Print design such as business cards and posters
  • Proportion design for appliances, smartphones, and furniture
  • UI/UX element placement and visual guidance

In practice, the most workable approach is to measure a composite “civility score” built from multiple indicators.

  1) Model-based indicators (machine learning) Toxicity/Aggression: Use Jigsaw’s Perspective API to obtain probabilities for “TOXICITY,” “INSULT,” “PROFANITY,” “IDENTITY_ATTACK,” etc. Japanese is supported (see the official language table). Politeness: Stanford’s research established a framework for estimating “politeness” from markers like request forms, hedges, honorifics, etc. It’s English-centric, but the methodology can be adapted to Japanese. The R package politeness is also useful. 2) Lightweight rules for Japanese (highly interpretable) Honorific/hedge rate: Ratios of “です/ます,” “〜でしょうか,” “γŠζ‰‹ζ•°γ§γ™γŒ,” “γŠι‘˜γ„γ—γΎγ™,” and the like. Presence of slurs/derogatory terms: A custom NG-word list (including figurative or euphemistic forms). Imperatives/strong assertions: Frequency of “〜しろ,” “〜に決まってる,” heavy use of exclamation marks, ALL-KATAKANA bursts, etc. Consideration/evidence markers: Signs of dialogic and verifiable style such as “ζ Ήζ‹ ：,” “ε‡Ίε…Έ：,” “もし〜γͺら.” 3) ...
