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,

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