    "abstract": "The golden mean, Phi, has been applied in diverse situations in art,\narchitecture and music, and although some have claimed that it represents a\nbasic aesthetic proportion, others have argued that it is only one of a large\nnumber of such ratios. We review its early history, especially its relationship\nto the Mount Meru of Pingala. We examine the successive divisions of 3, 7, and\n22 in Indian music and suggest derivation from variants of Mount Meru. We also\nspeculate on the neurophysiological basis behind the sense that the golden mean\nis a pleasant proportion.",
