文摘The fine-structure constant (α) at low and high energies is herein computed from control numbers in the theory of the golden section (φ). Countless attempts at deriving, or otherwise explaining the origin of αhave so far focused and somewhat succeeded on αat low energy. This manuscript, therefore, provides a more complete solution. That αpermeates even the golden section is not only further confirmation of the ubiquity of this constant of physics, but also leads to the inescapable conclusion that it originates in the golden section, a geometrical constant ubiquitous in physical phenomena.
