Fibonacci sequence

A Fibonacci sequence was a sequence of numbers that included 34, 55, and 89. (PROSE: Daisy Chain [+]Loading...["Daisy Chain (short story)"]) The Twelfth Doctor identified 55 as the tenth Fibonacci number. (TV: Flatline [+]Loading...["Flatline (TV story)"])

According to Saul, daisies had petal numbers in line with the Fibonacci sequence. (PROSE: Daisy Chain [+]Loading...["Daisy Chain (short story)"])

When Professor Jeffrey Broderick received a bottle of malt laced with a hallucinogen from Sir Toby Kinsella in 1964, it caused him to recite the Fibonacci sequence ad infinitum in order to keep himself occupied.

The Weave's life cycle was similar to a Fibonacci sequence, with each name a successive number added to the last.
