A New Way to Look at Fibonacci Numbers

[@jacobyatsko]

Some notes and responses to common questions: - The video was made using Adobe Illustrator and After Effects. I would not recommend doing a similar video this way, as it requires laying out every shot perfectly beforehand and animating every line more or less individually, rather than relying on a coding background (I have basically none) and a program that could simply generate the animations instead. A drawback of the way I did it is stuff like the missing line in the decagon that people have pointed out at 0:50. - Despite looking similar, I assure you there's no connection between the 10 graph and the Brilliant logo :D. (Also, what do we call these images? Designs? Graphs? Patterns? Symbols? Let me know what you think) - Could this be done in 3D? I'm not exactly sure. You could pick a point on the sphere to start, but how do you go about distributing the rest of the points on the sphere, in a regular pattern? It's easy to do it with a circle because you just go around the circle. But with a sphere, you have to choose between two axes of movement. - Thanks to everyone who reassured me that the mod operation can apply to fractions as well as integers!

Hi. I discovered these exact patterns a few years back and it feels strangely validating to have someone else discover them too. I would like to be the first to have discovered these things but that's highly unlikely since there's nothing new under the sun. Let me recommend that you stop limiting the periods to bouncing within a circle and give them the angles of a triangle or a pentagon or a hexagon. Whatever polygon you like. You will see some very beautiful and awesome line designs, there's one that even looks like a profile of a brain. It's fascinating. Also, I used a different kind of modulo that does not allow zeroes to be produced, I guess you could say it is an 'inclusive modulo' since it produces the dividend if the divisor fits exactly. Be careful though, you may lose many many hours watching the designs produced:D

9:42 It contains 1, 3, 7, and 9 *because* the chosen mod is 10. Except for two and five, all of these numbers are coprime with ten-because primes are necessarily coprime with every number that isn't a multiple of themselves. Two and five are the *only* exceptions because they are the factors of ten.

[@paulconnor1040]

The more lay explanation is the straightforward realisation that numbers ending in 5 are divisible by 5, and even numbers are divisible by 2, and therefore neither type (excepting 2 and 5 themselves) are prime candidates.

[@leon4590]

All primes , after the single digit primes, end in 1, 3, 7, or 9 so a multiple of 10 will always have one of those 3 numbers as the remainder.

10:14 I actually used this framework a couple years ago to solve an interesting puzzle I came across at a conference: “arrange the digits 1 through 16 so that every pair of digits sums to a perfect square.” I used this visitation method to find other sequences of digits, 1 to n, for which this is possible, and their respective solutions. Turns out they’re connected to Pythagorean triples, and the visitation of all possible sequence of digits makes nice parallel lines.

[@jayspenceranderson]

Don't rearrange the counting numbers, take them in sequence. Sum the first number (1). You get 1 or 3 to the zeroth power. Sum the next 3 numbers. You get 9 or 3 squared. Sum the next 9 numbers. You get 81 or 3 to the 4th. Sum the next 27 numbers. You get 729 or 3 to the 6th. Sum the next 81 numbers. You get 6561 or 3 to the 8th. So the number of numbers you sum is the next power of 3 and the result is the next even power of 3. Lots of patterns to find.

[@trickytreyperfected1482]

@@jayspenceranderson I feel like I know the basics of how this might work (for any succesion of 3 numbers, adding them together will always be divisible by 3 because their mods will be 0, 1, and 2. You add 0, 1, and 2 together and it's divisible by 3), but I have no idea why the rest of it would work. Like, why the nth power specifically? I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable reason which could be shown in a formula, but I don't get it lol.

[@areadenial2343]

​@@trickytreyperfected1482 It works because the median (and so the mean) of each succession of numbers is 3^k. And since each succession is length 3^k, its sum is (3^k)^2. This pattern holds for any odd base ≥3, but base 3 is unique in that each succession lines up nicely with the last one. For larger bases, the pattern is offset. In base 5 for example: [1], [3, 4, 5, 6, 7], [13, ... 25, ... 37], [63, ... 125, ... 187], et cetera. Honestly, I'm surprised I never noticed this property of powers of three until now! This relates to something I have a personal fascination with: balanced numeral systems. These are number systems with both positive and negative digits, centered around zero. So balanced base 3 has the digits [-1, 0, 1], balanced base 5 has digits [-2, -1, 0, 1, 2], and so on. I first noticed that the base 3 pattern was simply counting in balanced ternary, with each succession of numbers being all positive k-digit numbers. This made it quite obvious to me why the pattern behaves as it does. In larger bases, the pattern doesn't cover every k-digit number, only numbers with a leading digit of 1, which is why some numbers are skipped.

Hello I have something to add on that I have thought of, and pardon me if you had already noticed, but in all of the shapes of the mods, all polygons outlined by the lines in the different mods all seem to make triangles.

The fibonacci sequence, something about it makes me think about factors. Not coming to mind right now.

[@snotgarden4423]

So cool! I’ve been working with Fibonacci in rings for years, not having any idea about Pisano! I came up with another visualization technique - rather than treat each pair of numbers as a line, treat them as Cartesian coordinates. So mod 13 gives you a 13x13 grid, color in the coordinates as they come up in the series. Then, if you start with a different pair (say Fibonacci x2, or Lucas), it will fill in either exactly the same squares, or a completely different, non overlapping, set of squares. Keep going, and you can tile the square with a small set of nonoverlapping patterns. Striking symmetries appear with prime modulo bases!

[@snotgarden4423]

And with the Tribbonaci series (and variants) you can tile a modulo cube with symmetrical, no overlapping patterns as well...

9:44 The only possible remainders are actually 1, 3, 7 and 9, because since we’re dealing with prime numbers, suppose p = any prime number, p/10 will always give an uneven remainder inferior to ten, and the reason we don’t get 5 (the only missing uneven number) is because all numbers ending with 5 are multiple of 5. Therefore, we can only get the remainders 2 and 5 at the beginning (2/10 = remainder 2, 5/10 = remainder 5)

at 9:42, the reason that (ignoring the first 3 numbers) it’s always 1,3,7,9 is because mod 10 is the same as only looking at the last number, and all prime numbers after 5 only end in 1,3,7,9 due to the fact that ending in an even number makes it automatically divisible by 2, and ending in a 5 makes it divisible by 5

Well this really got my old brain cells buzzing thank you Jacob! The first thing I want to say is that for some years I've been learning and using (privately) a schematic programming system called FLOWSTONE, by Dsprobotics. I'm sure it will be possible to make a program that will generate these visualisations exactly as shown without all the tedious video editing, and I'm going to make that a new project along the lines of specifying a sequence, or even entering the formula for a sequence, and how to modify it. I would like to send you the results once done. The main project I've been using Flowstone for over the last 12 years or so has been developing a music generation system. I basically use more or less randomly selected logic gates to generate three different repeating sequences of numbers between 0 and 7. The first pattern determines the order in which 8 oscillators tuned to a common chord sounds. The other two patterns determine how the pitch of each note is changed by a specified amount. Once I find a pattern that is musically interesting, I use the oscillators to generate further parts to make a complete performance. This video has inspired me to adapt what I've done, to use these sequences you've so beautifully described, instead of my semi-random ones - music generated by mathematics can be surprisingly interesting, dramatic and moving. Again, I would like to send you the results, but I suspect the music version will take somewhat longer than the visualization. Thanks again, Jacob, for sparking off so many interesting ideas.

I came up with an interesting symmetrical Fibonacci-generated pattern along a similar route once. I started with a 10x10 grid of squares numbered 0 to 9. I then colored in every square whose coordinates corresponded to a Fibonacci pair of numbers, mod 10. So the first few squares I colored in were (1,1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 5), (5, 8), (8, 3), (3, 1), etc. What I ended up with was a pinwheel-ish pattern that was beautifully unexpected. I tried to pursue this further to a 100x100 grid, but I was doing it by hand and didn't get very far, to be honest.

all mod 12 can be associated with the chromatic scale in music and generate melodic or harmonic structures. Thanks.

Yes, I wanted to "hear" the Fibonacci Sequence in high school about 30 years ago, so I ended up recreating the modular mathematics wheel. I had my brother code a program for me so I could generate more of these sequences, graphs, and sonifications back then. The graphs were an unexpected bonus.

@@luisramirezbass Thanks for sharing, although, yes I have been aware of it for many years. I actually use the OEIS rather frequently since my own mathematical research is highly focused on various types of integer sequences.

[@TheSwircle987]

@@luisramirezbass As for sonifying sequences, I tend to do it myself in my own music, but it is a very cool feature of OEIS.

[@Vlackeo]

just a small note, you can absolutely use modular arithmetic with all real numbers, but that tends to be more of a computer science approach. Look into the sawtooth wave; it is a perfect extension into real numbers, albeit not quite as easy to use now that I think of it, the Desmos graphing calculator allows the mod function with real numbers, so that’s a pretty good way to visualize it and hopefully understand it

Just like music is the audio expression of math, what you are doing here is the visual expression of math. A pleasure to watch a fellow thinker in this field!

[@alexandertownsend3291]

That makes me curious though: what interesting audio representations are there for mathematical ideas such as numbers, polynomials, vector spaces, etc?

I wonder if this method can used to make sense of data sets ?

[@TheSwircle987]

Yeah, when I first discovered these beautiful graphs of the Fibonacci Sequence 30 years ago in high school, I wondered if they might somehow be useful in detecting hidden patterns in data ... .

Can you tell me what this proof is called? (n + 1)² = n² + 2n + 1 Essentially, it's a proof for infinite squares using addition, which subsequently fills out the central line of the multiplication table. I wanted to reach my niece the multiplication tables, and stumbled upon it, but had no idea what it would be called.

Great insights! I liked this better than Numberphile. By the way, do you post your art anywhere? It’s solid generative design.

9:47 "...for whatever reason"? A number modulo 10 is congruent to its last digit (in base 10), and primes in base 10 in 1, 3, 7 or 9.

Excellent video! I'd be curious to see what would result from looking at the designs' inverses, that is to say, the connections that /aren't/ made might give some insight on those that are.

These number sequences were known to Indian vedic scholors like Pingala and Varahamihira in 4th century BC, that is 2400 years ago. These sequences are the basis for Indian classical music Ragas. Acharya Hemachandra has compiled a tritise on these numbers and their use in the year 1150. Fibinnachi presented his work on these numbers in 1202

[@Seb135-e1i]

Slight amendment to 11:45 - moduli *can* be any real number. For x mod y, as you've explained, you subtract y from x as many times as possible and return the last positive number. Example: 5 mod 3/2 5 - 3/2 = 7/2 7/2 - 3/2 = 4/2 = 2 2 - 3/2 = 1/2 Therefore, 5 mod 3/2 = 1/2 Note that this is related to 5*2 mod 3, which is 1. If you take the Fibonacci sequence mod 7/3, it's the same as taking the fibonacci sequence*3 mod 7, except your resulting Pisano sequence will be divided by 3.
