Bifurcation — the series

One essay so far on this idea, and more questions about it than one essay answers.
  1. What the model settles on, against how fast the meristem grows. A broad golden branch, a transition, and then the two-whorl regime at exactly half a turn. 9 of 27 converged settings land within 4° of the golden angle; 15 land more than 20° away.

    The bifurcation diagram

    Sweep the one parameter of the rule and the settled angle traces a diagram — a broad golden branch, a transition, and a two-whorl regime at exactly half a turn. The famous constant is one branch of it, which is a more useful thing to know than the constant.
