§2.1 (5 lines, citing Vogel 1979 + Atela-Golé 2002 + Douady-Couder 1992):

\subsection{Vogel's Phyllotaxis: $\varphi$'s Biological Precedent}
\label{sec:vogel}

Vogel (1979) \cite{vogel1979} showed that sunflower seed packing achieves
maximal density iff seeds occupy positions $(r_n, \theta_n) =
(\sqrt{n}, n \cdot 360°/\varphi^2)$ -- the \emph{golden angle} $137.5°$.
Atela--Goé (2002) \cite{atelagole2002} and Douady--Couder (1992)
\cite{douadycouder1992} proved this is a \emph{forced equilibrium} of
diffusion-limited growth, not arbitrary aesthetics: $\varphi$ in nature
precedes $\varphi$ in physics by $\sim 10^8$ years; the Standard Model
identification (this paper) is $\varphi$'s \emph{third} return after
Euclid and Vogel, not its first.
