<:> Principles of proportion



There is a long tradition relating to preferences for certain archetypal proportions.

In particular, the golden ratio.

Two values are in the golden ratio if the ratio between them is equal to ratio between sum and largest value.

Also known as the `divine proportion', `golden mean', `golden section.'

This ratio observed in large-scale constructions from the ancient world, e.g., Giza pyramids and the parthenon.
