Yes, I forgot the name (Fibonacci) and as Golden Ratio I was understand at least sequence 3 of his numbers, like 358. My mistake then, sorry. I was never heard about this float illustration of GR.

Nice script but Golden Ratio 1.618 !?... what when is 3/5/8 ratio ? The Golden Ratio is a maths sequence where each integer item is a sum of 2 previous integers:
1+0=1, 2+1=3, 3+2=5, 5+3=8, 8+5=13, 13+8=21, ...

The Golden Ratio is based upon Fibonacci numbers, of which you tried to illustrate.

 

I'll quote:

"Fibonnaci Numbers lead to the Golden Ratio, called PHI: Φ = 1.618033"
