The golden ratio Phi symbol
THE NAME, THE SYMBOL & NATURE

A Universal Constant in Nature

Phi (Φ), the golden ratio, is a universal mathematical constant of approximately 1.618. This unique proportion appears throughout geometry and in certain patterns of natural growth, including arrangements found in plants. It describes a relationship in which the whole is to the larger part as the larger part is to the smaller. For The Golden Ratio Inc., Phi represents an appreciation for the mathematics, balance, and remarkable order that inspire both nature and innovation.

Focused on Technical Progress

The Golden Ratio Inc. is building toward rigorously evaluated, modular power-generation technology and the organizational capabilities required to advance it.
