I never realized it until last year when my mom taught me about the Fibonacci sequence in nature. Then, I randomly was watching the BTW video and realized that Gaga/Nick Knight are giving shoutouts to the Fibonacci sequence (aka, "the golden ratio") throughout the entire video. The Fibonacci sequence is: The Fibonacci sequence is also known as "the golden ratio" and is evident throughout nature... In plants (particularly roses): In weather: In crustacean life: In butterflies: in the Egyptian Eye of Horus (aka, the "all-seeing eye" of the Illuminati conspiracy culture): The most important factor here is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on... ******ULTIMATELY, THE GOLDEN RATIO REPRESENTS AESTHETIC PERFECTION******* Think about BTW and chew on that. The Fibonacci sequence is visible as a spiral. But, in more meaningful context, it represents "intelligent design" (aka, proof of God). Consider that when thinking about the themes of "Born This Way." During the opening monologue, we see Gaga birthing the new race... While she is being encircled by a spiral of roses (both the spiral and the roses displaying the Fibonacci sequence). She is simultaneously creating a blended visual of herself as Christ on the cross (Fibonacci as proof of intelligent design), the Egyptian ankh symbol (eternal life) and the Egyptian Eye of Horus (a design which also fits the Fibonacci sequence). And notice that one rose in each row is gold (a nod to the "golden ratio"). As the "birth" takes place, you see butterflies emerge (again, the pattern of movement of a butterfly's wings exemplify Fibonacci sequence). Immediately prior to this scene, you see a constellation in the shape of a Uterus (which also has been found to show Fibonacci sequence). Then the dance number begins... and the number of dancers shown in each row follow the Fibonacci sequence. But, you the viewer are the first "1"... Gaga is the second "1"... the row behind her has 2 dancers, the row behind that has 3, etc... As the song continues, you hear the lyrics and realize that they, too, point to the perfection of the Fibonacci sequence... "there's nothing wrong with loving who you are, 'cause he made you perfect, babe." .... "God makes no mistakes." .... "Same DNA, but born this way." (perhaps most significant, the mapping of DNA follows Fibonacci sequence). - Lest we forget, the entire video takes place in outer space! One of the greatest examples of Fibonacci sequence. ...when you think about it, this makes PERFECT sense for the song "Born This Way" ... She is talking about intelligent design and loving yourself because God does not make mistakes. We are perfect, just as we were born. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan Heart 7,382 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 It's amazing how many great ideas and wasted potential there is through Gaga's career. Especially during the BTW and ARTPOP eras. Scheiße and Heavy Metal Lover being singles. ARTPOP and Venus being singles. There's just so many ideas and possibilities that could have been explored, it saddens me that she didn't have the chance to. I wish she would revive some of these visions for future projects. I adore this kind of aesthetic, shown in the footage. I would love to see it again if she's adopting the psychedelic pop rock vibe I hope she's be going for. They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staryu 6,162 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Wow, I've never seen this (only pictures). I love the BTW video as it is, but I wish they used such visuals for something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReidOne 12,427 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 To bring this topic full circle, even this un-seen kaleidoscope-inspired footage of BTW exemplifies the spiral patterns of the Fibonacci sequence/golden ratio! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelseaaaaaa 1,453 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yes. 100% legit. I prefer the final product of 'Born This Way' but this is cool af regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,379 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 @ReidOne Thanks for explaining, definitely fascinating, I never caught it. I think some suggestions are a bit much, but definitely an interesting layer. What I really don't agree with, however, is that BTW is about intelligent design and being perfect the way you're born. Gaga made it clear multiple times that she's using that ironically, since she's actually talking about constant rebirth. So that would run against your ideas near the end. Though I'll admit the lyrics of the actual thing don't really make room for that interpretation. Not the first time Gaga's explanations don't match the song, but still important to note.

Kelly Green is the "official" color of the American Dollar I'm really glad the BTW video is the way it is, it's aesthetic is so wonderfully grotesquely alien and organic, which matches the way I always interpreted the production of the song. It's an electronic track but I swear if alien goup could make music BTW is what it would sound like. - Previously Sycothisis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT?! How have I missed this all these years?! This **** is incredible. Gaga did say that the original concept for Born This Way was supposed to have the ARTPOP aesthetic, but when her grandfather passed away she was in mourning (she started wearing all black for a whole year in 2011/12). And so she changed direction and made Born This Way a darker album with the style of the music reflected in the songs as an homage to death (EDM exploded in 2011, and rock music was dead, so she fused rock with electronic elements).
