I am simply pointing out that where both of us observe/experience the pattern, your mind ascribes to it significance by relating it to the Mathematical construct called "Golden ratio".
My mind doesn't make that relation. I call that pattern (and other patterns like it) a "snail shell pattern".
We index the experience differently.
From your perspective a Mathematical expression describes the pattern. From my perspective an English expression does.
Either way, we index the pattern in our respective minds.
You index (understand?) it as a "Golden ratio".
I index (understand?) it as a "snail shell".
Your understanding it Mathematically, I do not. Which is why I said that you assign Mathematical meaning to the pattern.
This is essentially what Linguistic relativism is all about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

Huh? I spoke of snail shells. If your characterization were accurate we probably wouldn’t even know we’re talking about the same thing.
