The universe is comprised of information.
I’m arguing from the standpoint of information science that the data structure behind the universe is imperatively associated with consciousness and beauty.
It is in the information about the arrangement of objects in nature that leads one to the conclusion that consciousness and love for beauty is at play in the universe.
The kind of information that the universe reveals determines the kind of phenomenon the universe is. There is discernible arrangement in the way that objects in nature are positioned that points to consciousness behind the arrangement.
What kind of information can one extract from it? Does the information conform to any data structure? Isolated pieces of data alone is insufficient if we want to learn more about the universe. We need to find out how the information is arranged. Can we discern any pattern in the data the universe presents to us?
The ubiquity of the Fibonacci sequence that confronts us informs us that the realm of appearances is biased. What is the nature of this bias? There is distinct preference for structures that conform to the Fibonacci sequence. Why should that be so? The structure associated with the Fibonacci sequence is a sophisticated one.
The Fibonacci sequence expresses beauty in a certain way that makes the universe an esthetic phenomenon. Esthetics entails consciousness towards concepts such as proportion, comfort, visual pleasure etc. The Fibonacci sequence is a non random phenomenon. In fact, it is rigorously mathematical, has been studied by generations of scholars and philosophers alike.
I’m going to skim over just one, which is the structure: DNA. Why is the ACGT -

- genome DNA code arranged in a spiral? Answer to this is because the arrangement is beautiful. We must posit design to precede the spiral to make sense of DNA.
Humans are imbued with the ability to recognize the Fibonacci sequence intuitively. The plethora of spiral petroglyphs worldwide is a testament of pattern recognition which is a feature of human consciousness. The ubiquitous nature of geometric motifs, such as the spiral, clearly raises the question: What is the art form communicating to us?
Consciousness and geometrical patterns are complementary pairs, consciousness being the subjective form to objective geometry. Geometry is immutable and is exhibited to repletion in the natural realm. In particular, the Fibonacci sequence exhibits a spiral form.

To reduce the spiral form into the realm of pure mathematics, we get this compact formula..
The Fibonacci numbers are generated by setting F0 = 0, F1 = 1, and then using the recursive formula Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2 to get the rest.
The universe expresses sophistication at every level that can be viewed as a mathematical phenomenon. Our consciousness has the ability to extract information that can tell us the origin of the universe by way of geometry beyond physical or chemical considerations.
It is in the arrangement of natural and social phenomena that consciousness comes into play. The realm of nature is consciousness objectivised into innately beautiful forms. Love of beauty is why the universe exists at all.
The universe is a spatial phenomenon, which is the objective form of subjective consciousness.
For the sake of completeness, the
following shows the necessary source code to form the universe, which is a
recursive series of 1110, which is why I made the assertion that the universe
is comprised of information at the beginning of this post. This source code
engenders beauty at all levels in the universe.
The sophistication of this code is that it is a stack structure. One still need to stack the information up or equivalently add the numbers in a consistently manner using a formula for the code to work.

by Dr Lili Saghafi. The above graphic shows a Fibonacci function call stack.
This is the bias that the spatial phenomenon exhibits structurally that we recognize intuitively or even rigorously. Space is not a disinterested phenomenon. Try to get past this please. It will pave the way to an aesthetic understanding of the universe.
The following diagram shows the manifestation of the formula above.
The above structure expresses the structure of the universe at every level. It is a fractal. More about that here: Research and Reflection: Fractals, the Fibonacci Spiral, and Nature -

Trees and galaxies are structurally self-similar fractals because there exist similar arrangement that accentuate beauty. Trees exhibit branches whereas galaxies exhibit spirals. From the plan view, they appear similar.
Do recognize that the universe is a mathematical phenomenon so that you can see Divine geometry at work behind it.
