The link between Fibonacci and Wheeler may seem speculative however I will show a logical relationship
which the Fibonacci sequence has with both information and reality.
A thought experiment: Descent into a Black Hole (and back out)
Interaction, observation and being observed, is key to all of physics, and information is at the heart of this.
Normal 4-dimensional space-time comprises 3 spatial dimensions which allow the passage of information, as time passes, between separate points in space-time. That is, a particle, for instance, can observe,
inwardly receiving information 3-dimensionally, while outwardly revealing information 3-dimensionally.
Using this train of thought, at a Black Hole’s event horizon, information is not so free in all spatial directions – no pathways lead outwards. Information can be received 3-dimensionally from outside, but no
information from inside the black hole can be received. Likewise at the event horizon information can
be revealed 3-dimensionally towards the singularity, but nothing can be revealed outwards away from
the black hole, because no pathways point outwards. The only direction where information can be both
received and revealed is 2-dimensionally across this 2-dimensional horizon.
Once inside the Black Hole, pathways tend towards greater and greater spaghettification, before the
0-dimensional space is reached at the singularity, at some critical point, information can only be revealed
1-dimensionally. Finally at the singularity itself, information can only be received from that point
1-dimensionally.
At the singularity information cannot be received nor revealed because there are, by definition, 0-dimensions of space at that unique point. Hence, we can envisage information having discrete and limited environments for its passage. 0 and 1 emerge as dimensionalities concerned with the singularity itself – quite
binary, and, as we know, the seed values for Fibonacci.
