To evaluate the mathematical relationships governing emergent geometric regularity in plant phyllotaxis and two-dimensional Poisson-Voronoi spatial tessellations.
Derived divergence angles and continued fraction convergents of the golden angle governing sequential primordia generation.
Analyzed the probability density, area variance, and topological neighbor distribution of two-dimensional Poisson-Voronoi cells relative to the hexagonal root lattice.
The golden angle divergence of 2π/φ² ≈ 2.39996 rad provides the maximally irrational rotation that optimizes spatial packing efficiency via Fibonacci convergents.
Two-dimensional Poisson-Voronoi tessellations produce cell areas with mean 1/λ, variance ≈ 0.28/λ², and a variance-to-mean-squared ratio of ≈ 0.28, with six-neighbor hexagonal cells (interior angles of 120°) emerging as the most probable geometry.
