Comments

Let R denote a rectangle whose shape (i.e., length/width) is (1+sqrt(-1+2*sqrt(5)))/2. This rectangle can be partitioned into squares and golden rectangles in a manner that matches the periodic continued fraction [1,r,1,r,1,r,1,r,...], where r is the golden ratio. It can also be partitioned into squares so as to match the nonperiodic continued fraction [1,2,3,6,3,...] at A190158. For details, see A188635.
