““In short, the idea dawns that the one universal principle which possibly ... between force and structure, the embodiment of the Principle of Least Action and the (unknown) force, which in mathematics is known as the attractor which pulls ... in the direction of the most optimal and relatively stable self-organized criticality, could very well be the Golden Ratio dynamic. the universal principle which as the balance between finiteness and infinity, stability and flexibility underlies self-similar fractal forms emerging at the 'edge of chaos' indeed seems to be the Golden Ratio Spiral.””

The Golden Ratio may represent a universal principle balancing finiteness and infinity, stability and flexibility, seen in fractal forms at the edge of chaos.

In simple terms: Golden Ratio could be a fundamental balancing force in nature.
