    This document discusses root numbers and their origins. It explains that root numbers come from using simple tools like sticks and cords to draw circles, squares, and diagonals when measuring land for building structures. The diagonals of these squares produce what are known as root numbers. It further notes that root rectangles constructed using these methods display organized, dynamic symmetry that can be seen in nature. The document recommends additional resources on related topics like the Pythagorean theorem, golden ratio, and dynamic rectangles.

    A closer look at 1:5

    From the study of phyllotaxis and the related Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc)

    What is the root of root numbers


    I believe the truth behind root numbers is quite simple, the need to have a system to measure the
    ground when building large structures (i.e. buildings). The only tools needed to construct root
    rectangles is to drive a stick in the ground with a cord attached to it. From these simple tools, a
    person can draw circles, right angles, squares and diagonals. Based on number one (can be any
    scale), diagonals in those squares are what we call root numbers. Think of what you leaned in school,
    "What s the square root of...?". That s really how simple it is.

    All the figures I have done above can be done with very simple tools, a stick and a string. From that,
    deduct the simplicity and beauty of root rectangles. Why is it beautiful? Personally I think it s because
    it is organized dynamic symmetry, not unlike nature itself.
