One is a ratio, the sum of the other is a decimal
what i find interesting is where the square root of 5 came from?

I  assume its from a theorem that im not familiar which you have employed.
Can you possibly elaborate further.?

I am not a mathematician, im an artist, so forgive me if my maths are not up to scratch.

I guess it's:

      2
  ---------
        ___
  1 + \| 5

I came to this opinion by regognizing: 1 : 1.6180339 = 1.6180339-1
Then I went on:

  1
  - = x - 1  =>
  x

            ___
      1 + \| 5     1       2
  x = --------- => - = ---------
          2        x         ___
                       1 + \| 5

Just an idea...

Markus
