The Phi R atio in All Known Organic Str uctures Ratio Structures Phi-ratio mathematics goes not only through human life, but through the entire spectrum of all known organic structure. You can find this in butterflies [Fig. 7-34] or dragonflies [Fig. 7-35], where each little rail section is proportioned to 201
