After finishing the experiment I started noticing more patterns relating to the Fibonacci sequence. For example‚ in a tree you start counting by the tree trunk;

    years‚ particularly that of the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio. In Debussy’s Nocturne‚ composed in 1892‚ I look into the use of the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio.
