Representing Irrational Numbers of Note As Golden Ratio Base Numbers
The base-φ representations of some interesting numbers:
- π ≈ 100.0100 1010 1001 0001 0101 0100 0001 0100 ...φ (sequence A102243 in OEIS)
- e ≈ 100.0000 1000 0100 1000 0000 0100 ...φ (sequence A105165 in OEIS)
- √2 ≈ 1.0100 0001 0100 1010 0100 0000 0101 0000 0000 0101 ...φ
- φ = (1+√5)/2 = 10φ
- √5 = 10.1φ

“Brave people may be persuaded to an action by representing it as being more dangerous than it really is.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“The land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.”
—Bible: Hebrew Numbers 35:33.
“For do but note a wild and wanton herd
Or race of youthful and unhandled colts
Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
Which is the hot condition of their blood;
If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
By the sweet power of music.”
—William Shake{peare (1564–1616)
“If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
“Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“All that are printed and bound are not books; they do not necessarily belong to letters, but are oftener to be ranked with the other luxuries and appendages of civilized life. Base wares are palmed off under a thousand disguises.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
