For almost all real numbers, ln(qₙ) grows linearly at slope β ≈ 1.1865. The denominators of π's convergents (1,7,106,113,33102…) grow faster on average due to the anomalous partial quotient 292.
Comparison of denominator growth rates for golden ratio versus typical number
| φ = [1;1,1,1,…] | Bilangan tipikal |
|---|---|
| qₙ wächst wie φⁿ ≈ 1,618ⁿ | qₙ wächst wie (e^β)ⁿ ≈ 3,276ⁿ |
| Langsamstmögliches Wachstum | Lévys Satz |
The partial quotient 292 at step 5 makes π's denominators grow much faster than average. For a "typical" number the ratio ln(qₙ)/n → β ≈ 1.187.
