"Consider this theory, based on the internal logic of the show and not actual real-world physics: Since the Fibonacci numbers seem to control growth processes in nearly all aspects of the physical world, from galaxies to meteorology to biology, it's evidence that the universe itself is somehow "intelligent". But, when you look at those natural growth processes there's always an 'ending' of some sort - the arms of spiral galaxies trail off instead of going on forever - the spiral of a mountain goat's horn also ends at its tip - ditto the spiral of a pinecone or a hurricane. As humanity gets better at 'observing' these processes through Quantum Mechanics, humanity is changing the 'effects' of these processes through our act of 'observing'. By 'measuring' these fundamental laws the universe itself is 'changed'. Once the rate of progress or 'measurement' hits 'critical mass', perhaps with the development of an 'intelligent' Quantum Computer, the 'change' on the universe also accelerates uncontrollably, perhaps catastrophically. The more humanity tries to 'diagnose' the 'problem' ('diagnose' being another way of saying 'observe' or 'measure'), the worse the 'problem' gets. Even if it turns out that Massive Dynamic has a Quantum Computer that is calculating the nature of the universe, it's not really Massive Dynamic's 'fault' since that 'knowledge' was virtually inevitable. The 'culprit' of The Pattern is the human mind's ability to take the Fibonacci/Golden Ratio 'spiral' and conceptualize it infinitely (1.6180339887...), as opposed to every other example in nature where it has an observable finite limit. LONG STORY SHORT: The human mind is a Quantum anomaly that has catastrophic results on the fabric of the universe."

"Here's another link with lots of examples of Fibonacci sequences in nature. Note that Fibonacci turns up in the family trees of cows (FYI: The cow in the lab at Harvard is named Gene. Hahaha.)

One thing about this website I find interesting is the many examples of the "appearance" of Fibonacci in nature being debunked. This could be another theme in future episodes of the show. Once the characters clue in to the Fibonacci pattern, will they start seeing it everywhere, even when the pattern doesn't actually apply to the situation? Will this sort of irrational paranoia become an integral theme of the show?"
