The golden ratio is infinite?

or...uh..looks like 3 parts there...

Good demonstration. Yep, it is very close to being a 5 to 3 split. 8/5 is very close to 5/3. 24 is very close to 25, but 25 is far from 36. The golden ratio does not work for 4 and 5.

This is all beside the point any way. Minervas took the golden ratio, improperly inserted 4 and 5, and then made an equality point that was not even coherent.

I planned to get to that but got held up...by there not being 4 parts...anyway I think I proved the insertion of 4 was improper.
