Golden Ratio emerges when all Complete Graphs are superimposed

Posted 8 years ago
Show[Flatten[Table[CompleteGraph[i, VertexSize -> 0, EdgeStyle -> Thickness[0.00003]], {i, 1, 60}]]]

It'd be fun to look through all the different ways it appears. If I had to summarize why, I'd note that the golden ratio is well known to appear in pentagrams and that much of the structure of the above image reflects that:

Show[Show[
  Flatten[Table[
    CompleteGraph[i, VertexSize -> 0, 
     EdgeStyle -> Thickness[0.00003]], {i, 1, 60}]]], 
 CompleteGraph[5, VertexSize -> 0, EdgeStyle -> Red], 
 CompleteGraph[3, VertexSize -> 0, EdgeStyle -> Red]]
