Sequences research

A few examples of sequences....






Fibonacci sequence....I thought I would start with a fairly obvious example of a sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 etc...) where the one number is added to the number before to get the next number. Anyway somehow you can use this sequence to make shapes like the one shown above, using some kind of equation and mathematical ability. Seems like from where the spiral starts the squares double in size, after the second one anyway. I'm sure this sequence could be used in many ways, apparently it's in nature a lot aswell, which is actually pretty crazy as numbers are a man-made creation and nature appears to be entirely random.



The fact that the randomness of nature can sometimes be linked to a logical ordered sequence of numbers is mad, almost means you can argue for the existence of God. But I don't believe in God. This one would take a lot of thinking about.


Binary code.....



Binary code is pretty interesting too as a sequence, well actually the sequence itself is actually really boring, but the fact that the every single digital thing in the world runs on two numbers is, well, fair enough really.


Time-Lapse imagery...

I also really like this style of photo manipulation, it gives you a sense of time which you would imagine would be very difficult through a still image. Not quite sure who made this but here's a link to the website: http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/archives/photos_landscape/060828_1662.shtml   - it has a lot of nice photography of downtown Toronto and a few other places.
