Bacteriophage Qbeta (Qubevirus durum), widely considered a second modern structural proxy for the Earth’s oldest evolutionary RNA viruses, single-stranded RNA genome length of 4,217 nt converges with the 19th Fibonacci number = 4,181 at a remarkable precision of 99.15% by Stefan Geier et al., ISTS Simssee

Bacteriophage Qbeta (Qubevirus durum), widely considered a second modern structural proxy for the Earth’s oldest evolutionary RNA viruses, single-stranded RNA genome length of 4,217nt converges with the 19th Fibonacci number  4,181 at a remarkable precision of 99.15%

We analyze the genomic architecture of Bacteriophage Qbeta (Qubevirus durum), widely considered a second modern structural proxy for the Earth’s oldest evolutionary RNA viruses. We demonstrate that Bacteriophage Qbeta (Qubevirus durum), widely considered a second modern structural proxy for the Earth’s oldest evolutionary RNA viruses, single-stranded RNA genome length of 4,217 nt* converges with the 19th Fibonacci number = 4,181 at a remarkable precision of 99.15%. Building upon the morphogenetic framework proposed by Stefan Geier et al.** we will later discuss how this numeric harmony reflects electrodynamic, gravitational and thermodynamic constraints and maximum data-packing efficiency in early evolutionary history. We assume and hypothesize that this nearly perfect fit is associated with the extremly long evolutionary pressure of (bio-)physics described by GEIER's equations on Qbeta (Qubevirus durum, Leviviridae).

Addita:
a) Other characteristics (four genes: 3rd Lucas number) fit GEIER's programme, too.
b) Consider the role of Lucas- and Fibonacci-numbers, please, as described earlier by us***.
