    @jestdotty I once researched this and here is my educated guess answer:

    Because generally everything possibly translates to a golden ratio, from UI object distances to engineering beauty, making it easier for your brain to calculate, requiring less calculation energy, and evolutionarily this means that as cave people we were focused on focusing on the survival-important aspects. Less calculation > saves energy > more energy for survival > dopamine. Note: classical music is also in golden ratio.
