So, i didn't know what this was classified as, so i settled for this genre. Can someone explain to me exactly how this works. How does everything come back to 1.618.

because it is the simplest from of recursion?
'simple' is a little subjective. see previous post by arildno.
The Divine Proportion, also known as the Golden Ratio, is a mathematical concept that has been observed in nature and art for centuries. It is an irrational number, approximately equal to 1.618, and is often represented by the Greek letter phi (φ).
The Divine Proportion can be calculated by dividing a line into two parts in such a way that the ratio of the longer part to the shorter part is equal to the ratio of the sum of both parts to the longer part. This can be expressed mathematically as (a+b)/a = a/b = φ.
The Divine Proportion can be found in many natural phenomena, such as the proportions of human bodies, the growth patterns of plants, and the shapes of galaxies. It is also seen in the proportions of animals, such as the spirals on a snail's shell or the patterns on a butterfly's wings.
The Divine Proportion has been used in art and design for centuries, as it is believed to create aesthetically pleasing compositions. It can be seen in the proportions of famous artworks, such as the Mona Lisa and the Parthenon. Many artists and designers also use the Divine Proportion as a guide for creating balanced and visually appealing designs.
While the Divine Proportion has been observed in nature and art, there is still ongoing debate among scientists about its significance and whether it is truly a universal principle. Some studies have shown that humans do have a preference for objects that follow the Divine Proportion, but further research is needed to fully understand its role in the natural world.
