Greetings.
Additionaly for my last e-mail about N viewed as the square of an infinite series...
Another direct consequence.
IF you pick phi = 1.618... yes, the golden ratio number (the one with the plus sign)
take its reciprocal, square it, and perform an infinite sum with its positive powers
starting from zero,
THEN what you get as result is phi itself!!!
Isn't it nice?.
At purpose here is an informal technical proof.
It was found thankful for the aid of PARI.
