A Fibonacci sequence is an ordered set of numbers in mathematics, in which the sum of any two consecutive numbers equals the next number in the sequence. The first ten Fibonacci whole numbers are 0-1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34.

History and specifics

Expressions of the Fibonacci sequence occurred naturally in sunflowers and honeycombs. (VOY novel: The Eternal Tide)

In 2168, Erika Hernandez embedded a Fibonacci sequence in a SOS message she attempted to broadcast from New Erigol, where she had been held against her will by the Caeliar for several hundred years. (ST - Destiny novel: Mere Mortals)

The inclusion of the sequence was done presumably to indicate that the message was not a naturally-occurring phenomenon, but an intentional call for help from an intelligent being.

In 2255, Spock and Michael Burnham encountered depictions that resembled Fibonacci-like spirals within a chamber aboard the Juggernaut. (DSC novel: Desperate Hours)

In 2269, the Tholian child "Bright Eyes" recognized Nyota Uhura's illustration of the Fibonacci sequence. This spurred her to work toward a language translation matrix for the Tholian language based on math concepts. (TOS - Year Five comic: "Issue 4")

In 2370, Data realized that Juliana Tainer blinked in Fibonacci sequences, which exposed her as an android. (TNG novel: Immortal Coil)

In the 2370s, the Matryoshka Brain used the Fibonacci sequence to attempt communication with an away team. (Adventures RPG module: Nest in the Dark)

In 2381, Afsarah Eden recognized artificial landmarks on the Mikhal Outpost were placed at relative distances guided by the Fibonacci sequence, essentially a map. (VOY novel: The Eternal Tide)

In 2385, Ren Kalanent Viss suggested using a Fibonacci sequence to contact a space-faring creature. (DS9 novel: Ascendance)
