Redundancy, Robust Design, And Mathematics

Zome
Systems builds upon the magic of the golden ratio.

Its
design reflects redundancy at many levels, a feature that
is

usually common to well-designed systems, and a feature
inherent

to anything mathematical.

As an
example, Zome sticks are both color and shape coded; a

fact
that makes this an excellent tool for teaching math
to

visually impaired students —

see Thinking

Of
Mathematics.

Redundancy can often be a
consequence of the same basic fact

manifesting itself when
viewed from different perspectives. As a

case in point, see
the number of ways that the golden ratio

manifests itself,
both within Zome, and more generally the wider

world we
live in.
