The Golden Ratio, also known by many other names, has been applied in designing works of art and architecture for centuries. One result is the aesthetically pleasing quality imparted to a design. However, I believe there is also a functional element that makes it a practical design technique as well. My question is whether there are ways to apply this ratio and/or other mathematical concepts to information management. The complicated distribution and relationships of information in a given individual's life reminds me of some of the complicated puzzles that utilize mathematical concepts in design and solution. Is there some way to analyze information and organize it by using mathematical concepts? I am thinking specifically about program management information. I have been working in the government domain for 8 years and have yet to see anyone who can effectively track all the information related to a program. The amount and dispersed nature of information are two factors that make this so difficult. Can this be related to a "Rubik's Cube" type of puzzle? A multi-faceted, multi-attribute, aggregation of information that has to be kept in constant alignment.
