Phi Before One-Through Honeycomb Eyes

This paper challenges the assumption that the number 1 is the foundation of mathematics. By exploring the identity φ² – φ = 1 and its geometric construction, it argues that the golden ratio (φ) is more fundamental than unity. Within the Honeyverse cosmological model, φ appears in the expression for Honeycomb alpha (√2/120φ), a geometric approximation to the fine-structure constant. In Honeycomb alpha the golden ratio (φ) serves as a relational constant guiding self-similarity, symmetry, and quantization. The result is φ being viewed as the spatially foundational perfect ratio it is, not as a byproduct of number; rather, number as a byproduct of φ. I have no website or social media presence.
