Discussion: A research proposal will determine whether the surprising mathematical efficiency in nature regarding resource use is the result of evolution or is it a built-in feature of all living things in the first place.

The results of such research have vital scientific and philosophical significance.

Nature is known to manage its resources at the animal and plant levels through miraculous mathematical efficiency. Notable examples are the petals of flowers arranged with a golden angle (approximately 137.5 degrees), so there will never be an overlap between the petals. Other examples exist in the Fibonacci series numbers in plants and animals. The honeycomb consists of hexagons, not by chance; this is the optimal form that implements maximum storage with a minimum volume per unit of space coverage.

Insects and terrestrial plants began to develop about 480 million years ago. Most of the fossils in human hands do not exceed 100 million years. Suppose (for demonstration) we were to find a fossilized flower (the first flowers on land existed about 250 million years ago) with petals not arranged by the golden angle. We could assume that the miraculous feature of mathematical efficiency is an evolutionary feature. On the other hand, if we had found a honeycomb from the most ancient bee age with a hexagonal shape, the answer would not necessarily have been unequivocal. Still, it would have raised the likelihood that mathematical efficiency is a built-in rather than an acquired property. Such research has far-reaching implications with philosophical and scientific contributions, including the question, "Do we live in a simulation?"
