Fibonacci Harmonics: A New Mathematical Model of Synchronicity

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.
