Mosses whose step ratio approximates the golden ratio will have a step ratio L:s that is F(n):F(n-1), or two consecutive Fibonacci numbers. In relation to a parent mos xL ys | Mosses whose step ratio approximates the golden ratio will have a step ratio L:s that is F(n):F(n-1), or two consecutive Fibonacci numbers. In relation to a parent mos xL ys with an arbitrarily large step ratio F(n):F(n-1) (where n is arbitrarily large) there is a sequence of mosses of the form (xF(k)+yF(k-1))L (xF(k-1)+yF(k-2))s (where F(k), F(k-1), and F(k-2) are the kth, (k-1)th, and (k-2)th Fibonacci numbers) that descend from xL ys. Due to mos recursion, the mos (xF(n)+yF(n-1))L (xF(n-1)+yF(n-2))s contains xL ys, as well as every mos between xL ys and (xF(n)+yF(n-1))L (xF(n-1)+yF(n-2))s. The table below illustrates these mosses. | ||
As an example, golden meantone describes the mos 5L 2s whose step ratio approaches the golden ratio. This also describes a series of mos descendants that contain 5L 2s as a subset, which are 7L 5s, 12L 7s, 19L 12s, 31L 19s, 50L 31s, and so on. This is to say that the aforementioned mosses are supported by golden meantone, or rather, approximated by golden meantone if n sufficiently large. | |||
