Amazing...Found it hard to keep up
This was known to Indians before Fibonacci
Quote:
“Before Fibonacci wrote his work, the sequence Fn
had already been discussed by Indian scholars, who had long been interested in rhythmic patterns that are formed from one-beat and
two-beat notes. The number of such rhythms having n beats altogether is Fn+1; therefore both Gopala (before 1135) and Hemachandra
(c. 1150) mentioned the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...explicitly."
