Abstract
This article aims to provide a brief overview of the relevance of new findings
about the Fibonacci Life Chart Method (FLCM) for understanding synchronicity.
The FLCM is reviewed first, including an exposition of the golden section
model, and elaboration of a new harmonic model. The two models are
then compared to illuminate several strengths and weaknesses in connection
with the following four major criteria regarding synchronicity: explanatory
adequacy; predictability of future synchronicities; simplicity of the model; and
generalizability to other branches of knowledge. The review indicates that
both models appear capable of simulating nonlinear and fractal dynamics.
Hybrid approaches that combine both models are feasible and necessary for
projects that aim to experimentally address synchronicity.
期刊介绍:
Applied Mathematics promotes the integration of mathematics with other scientific disciplines, expanding its fields of study and promoting the development of relevant interdisciplinary subjects.
The journal mainly publishes original research papers that apply mathematical concepts, theories and methods to other subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, information science, energy, environmental science, economics, and finance. In addition, it also reports the latest developments and trends in which mathematics interacts with other disciplines. Readers include professors and students, professionals in applied mathematics, and engineers at research institutes and in industry.
Applied Mathematics - A Journal of Chinese Universities has been an English-language quarterly since 1993. The English edition, abbreviated as Series B, has different contents than this Chinese edition, Series A.
