Deterministic chaos, as a guiding principle behind the universe was discovered by Lorenz, a meteorologist, and he was not doubt delighted when he saw the fibonacci spiral in cloud systems photographed from satellites. Golden mean, koru, nautilus, weather, seeds in sunflower heads, galactic spirals, all based on the same deep simplicity.
