The Fibonacci Sequence in Worldbuilding

The Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci sequence is a simple sequence of numbers where a number is the sum of the two preceding numbers in the series:

X_n = X_n-1 + X_n-2

0 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 8 - 13 - 21 - 34 - 55 - 89 - 144 - 233 - 377 - 610 - 987 - 1597 - 2584 - 4181

Modified Fibonacci Sequence

You may have already been aware of this sequence, however, in this form, the Fibonacci sequence does not practically explain reality in a way we can apply to creation. First, we need to modify it a bit and split it into two equally important parts:

Sequence With Polarities and a Master or Neutral Element

1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 8 - 13 - 21 - 34 - 55 - 89

Sequence With Polarities (-1 From the Fibonacci Sequence)

0 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 12 - 20 - 33 - 54 - 88

Now that we have these two lists, we can apply see their manifestation in reality.
