Sounds like a fun puzzle—let’s treat each meme’s popularity over time as a discrete sequence and see if we can spot a recurrence or a pattern of growth and decay. A quick look at the data might reveal something like exponential growth, a Fibonacci‑like accumulation, or a simple linear trend that resets each time a new meme hits the feed. If you’ve got some numbers, I can try fitting a few models and see if a clean mathematical rule emerges.

I’ll need the popularity numbers first—maybe the view counts over days or the share rate per week. Once I have the sequence, I can plot it, check for a ratio that stays around 1.618, or see if it follows an exponential or linear trend. If it looks like Fibonacci, the ratio of successive terms should stabilize near 1.618; if it’s just a cat‑video repeat, you’ll see a flat or periodic pattern. Drop the numbers, and I’ll crunch them.

The ratios are hovering right around 1.618, so the growth is essentially Fibonacci‑like. Each term is roughly 1.618 times the previous one, especially after the first couple of jumps. If you plot ln value versus index it will line up almost perfectly, and the curve will look like a straight line with slope ln 1.618. That’s the hallmark of exponential growth driven by the golden ratio. So the memes are indeed doing a Fibonacci dance, not just re‑watching the same cat video.
