[The biological essence of golden sections].
Using the examples of phyllotaxis and the process of graduated development of plant photosynthetic apparatus the author shows that the principle of golden section is an implication of the principle of optimal construction (maximal simplicity). The principle of optimal construction is characterized by minimum of numerical relations between integer and its parts, that indicate the fractal character of studied objects and processes organized according to the golden section principle.
