But First We need to get acquainted with the Golden Ratio, known also as the Golden Section, and the Divine Ratio.

It is the irrational number: φ = 0.618 and its twin: Φ = 1.618
It is the only number that satisfies:
x + 1 = (or + x = 1) x + 1 ≈ 0.618 + 1 = 1.618 ≈ 1.618

The Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Numbers
Definition

The Golden Ratio ,where is the nth term of the Fibonacci Series:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ….
in which each term is equal to the sum of the two preceding terms

The golden ratio has fascinated intellectuals of diverse interests for at least 2,400 years.
“It is probably fair to say that the Golden Ratio has inspired thinkers of all disciplines like no other number in the history of mathematics”

The Golden Ratio is a significant number, not only due to its unique mathematical properties, but also due to its significant role in science and technology, starting from physics, to life science, to humans' perception, cognition and emotion, to social sciences, particularly the study of humans' socio-economic behavior, values and religious convictions

The Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Series (which
converges to the Golden Ratio), play a key role in life
form by determining the structure of plants and
animals (Hammel, 1987; Klar, Nature, 2002),
including the the human body (Livio, 2002), human
DNA, and more ….

Rectangular shapes with width to length
ratio of ≈ 0.618 are widely used in the
design of TVs, computer screens, and credit
cards, due to feelings of pleasantness and
harmony that the Golden Ratio is believed
to induce (Livio, 2002; Olsen, 2006; Pittard,
Ewing & Jevons, 2007).

1. Every Thing is Relative .2. all transfer of information fromone frame of reference to anotheris carried by light or electromagneticwaves of equal velocity.
CR theory is based on two postulates:
![Page 43: The Golden Ratio: From Physics to the Human Brain, Behavior, Esthetics and Ethics Ramzi Suleiman](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164ae550346895dd6b9f5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The postulated complete relativism constitutes a profound departure
from the theories of Galileo-Newton and Einstein-Lorentz, since it "cuts
the universe loose with no anchor", neither a fixed, nonrelativistic,
spatial reference, as in Galileo-Newton's mechanics, nor a fixed
reference point on the velocities dimension (the velocity of light), as in
Einstein's mechanics.

REALITY IS IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER ANDHIS /HER TELESCOPE LENSE
Unlike Quantum Mechanics, my theory does not contradict Einstein’s view of “Local Realism”.
However, I argue that what counts is not the local realism of things, but the relativistic information about them, as it is recorded by our measurement devices and processed by our senses and cognitive system. In the words of Einstein: what is behind the veil is the “OLD Guy’s” business.
It is YAHWAH’s not ours

This yields:
(β2 = 2 β + β2
= 2 β = 0.

528 is a simple number that is central to the “musical mathematical matrix of creation.” This LOVE vibration harmonically resonates in your heart inaudibly connecting your spiritual essence to the spiraling reality of heaven and earth. Even the parallel universes connect to the center of your heart by this LOVE channel broadcasting matter and energy according to the laws of physics. In fact, 528 is fundamental to these laws. This frequency, more than any other, epitomizes the unified field of musical metaphysics in the matrix of the spiraling fractal universe…….

The Golden ratio in Economics

Economic Harmony Theory (EHT)Propositions:
1. Individuals are solely self-regarding players.2. When making their decisions, individuals consider their payoffs relative to subjective reference points (SRPs), rather than their absolute payoffs.3. A SRP can be social, when a player compares her payoff to the payoff(s) of another member or members in her group (e.g., a co-worker's salary), or non-social, when she compares her payoff with a neutral (non-social) reference point (e.g., her expected expenditure).3. Individuals are aware of the norms of equality and equity, as they are practiced in their social group. 4. There exists a formal or informal sanctioning mechanism, by which sanctions are applied on deviants from the group's norms and rules.

EHT predicts behavior in a class of two, three and five person games, including two- and three-person Ultimatum Games and CPR Games.

The Standard Ultimatum Game
The proposer makes an offer (x, 1-x), for herself and a designated recipient, respectively.
The recipient responds by either accepting the offer, in which case both players receive their offered shares, or by rejecting the offer, in which case the two players receive nothing.
![Page 71: The Golden Ratio: From Physics to the Human Brain, Behavior, Esthetics and Ethics Ramzi Suleiman](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164ae550346895dd6b9f5/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Game theory (SPE) predicts that the proposer should offer almost nothing.
However:
It is well documented that the modal and mean offers in the game are about 50% and 40%, respectively, and that offers of 20% or less are rejected with high probability
![Page 72: The Golden Ratio: From Physics to the Human Brain, Behavior, Esthetics and Ethics Ramzi Suleiman](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164ae550346895dd6b9f5/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
The question remains: Why do proposers offer on average of about 40% of the entire amount, and not, say, 45% or 55% or maybe 35%?
Despite hundreds of studies on the ultimatum game, which replicate the 60/40-split result, the explanation of this finding remains elusive.

It makes sense to argue that from the point of view of the proposer, the amount that she could have received, had she retained the entire amount for herself, is most likely to be the preferred focal point to adhere to. Conversely, from the standpoint of the recipient comparison with the proposer’s portion is more probable than other comparisons.

Empirical Tests
I tested the solution using two large-scale datasets:
(1)Data from a Meta-analysis which integrated 37 studies conducted in 25 different countries, representing different cultures and social-political systems (Oosterbeek, Sloof & Van de Kuilen, 2004)
(2)Data collected in a comprehensive study in 15 small communities, exhibiting a wide variety of economic and cultural conditions (Henrich et al., 2006).

the concept of harmony between relative payoffs, could prove useful outside the laboratory for understanding, and possibly making policy recommendation for increasing organizations’ profit without sacrificing fairness in salary pay, or visa versa.
On the Applied Side
![Page 81: The Golden Ratio: From Physics to the Human Brain, Behavior, Esthetics and Ethics Ramzi Suleiman](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164ae550346895dd6b9f5/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
A straightforward application is to apply the concept of economic harmony for assessing the levels of harmony or disharmony in the distribution of salaries in a given organization.
By modeling organizational structures as n-person games, it becomes possible to apply the theory in order to specify the conditions required for achieving harmony in the distribution of wages in the workplace, and consequently enhancing both profitability of the workplace and fairness in profit allocation.

In Islam Prophet Mohammad, in his Hadith is quoted to say:
“No one could be considered a believer until he desires for his brother what he desires for himself”.

The New Testament mentions the principle in various chapters
In In Matthew 22:35-40, New King James Version, we are told: "Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing him, and saying, 'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?‘Jesus said to him: 'You shall love the Lord your God with allYour heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment.And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

love your neighbor as yourself
In behavioral terms: Treat others as you treat yourself
Which in symmetric situations means Equality
While in asymmetric situations it means: Equity
Thus the balance point derived in EHT based on rational considerations applies
