And that is why the isotopes less than 1 do not work for finding generators: they are redundant with their respective metallic mean. | And that is why the isotopes less than 1 do not work for finding generators: they are redundant with their respective metallic mean. | ||
For example, the golden mean does have an isotope, ≈ 0.618034, however, because the golden mean minus one is the same as the inverse of the golden mean, | For example, the golden mean does have an isotope, <span><math>≈ 0.618034</math></span>, however, because the golden mean minus one is the same as the inverse of the golden mean, | ||

we’ve ended up splitting the period up into segments of the same length, just swapped which one is on which side. | we’ve ended up splitting the period up into segments of the same length, just swapped which one is on which side. | ||
