Dialog One:
To begin, let’s start to count.
Zero. One. One.
Two.
Wait – what’s with the counting of one and one before you
get to two?
That’s the way it is.
When I learned to count, it was one, two, three, four. We didn’t even start at zero.
Why was that?
Because that is how I was taught?
Well, we are going to have to forget that.
Forget what?
How you were taught.
But I know how to count.
No, you don’t.
Counting starts zero, one, one, two, three, five …
Wait, what about four?
What about four?
You skipped counting four.
No, four is just two squared – it doesn’t count.
How are we counting if one comes twice and you skipped four?
Because I am counting by nature’s number code – the
Fibonacci sequence.
I am lost.
In more ways than one …
Numbers follow a sequence where you can add them together
and generate the next number in the sequence.
This generates a pattern, a spiral, a sequence that curls your toes and
roughs off the fine edges.
