Padovan: 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,7,9,12,16,21... each term = sum two and three steps back. Ratios converge to rho.
The Padovan sequence 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,7,9,12… each term = term two ago + term three ago. The bars grow asymptotically at rate ρ ≈ 1.3247 per step. The golden ratio governs 2-step Fibonacci; the plastic number governs this 3-step variant.
