| Fib(3) means the third Fibonacci Number in the series. So, 144 is the 13th number in the series, or Fib(13), or F13.

Reduction ad Infinitum means you add all the digits in each Fibonacci number and repeat until the result
is a single-digit number.
Now, the first 24 Fib numbers create a pattern that repeats up through the Fibonacci Series to infinity!
The numbers are
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 4, 3, 7, 1, 8,
9, 8, 8, 7, 6, 4, 1, 5, 6, 2, 8, 1
For example, the 24th and final number is 1, arrived at by applying Reduction ad Infinitum to the 24th Fib Number.
ie, 28,657 = 2 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 7 = 10 + 11 + 7 = 21 + 7 = 28 = 2 + 8 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1 whew!
So, if you apply Reduction ad Infinitum to Fib Numbers 25 thru 48, you will get the exact same series as above.
Further, if you take the final digit of the first 60 Fib #'s, a patter emerges here, too, that repeats up thru infinity.
We say the final digit has a cycle of 60. The final 2 digits have a cycle of 150. The final 3 digits have a
cycle of 1,500. The final 4 digits have a cycle of 15,000; and they all repeat forever into infinity!

Ok, let's get a little deeper. By some freakish chance, the fraction 1/89 is intimately
related to the Fibonacci Series. It is a repeating decimal fraction with 44 digits.
Here it is:
1/89 = .01123595505617977528089887640449438202247191
You can already see the Fib Series emerging in the first 6 digits. Now, here's the insane part:
take the first number in the Fib Series, 0, and divide it by 10 to the power of 1.
Take the 2nd #, 1, and divide it by 10 to the power of 2.
Divide the 3rd #, 1, by 10 to 3rd power. etc,
0/E+1 is how you write Zero divided by 10 to the first power.
Continue thru Fib(44) ...
Now add all these results together, and you get 1/89!!!!!!!!
(0/E+1) + (1/E+2) + (1/E+3) + (2/E+4) + (3/E+5) + (5/E+6) + (8/E+7) + ...
0.0 + 0.01 + 0.001 + 0.0002 + 0.00003 + 0.000005 + 0.0000008 +...
= 1/89 = .01123595505617977528089887640449438202247191

Here are the first 1,000 digits of Phi. Phi is the ratio of two neighboring Fibonacci Numbers.
The higher you go in the Series, the closer you get to Phi. This fraction goes on forever without repeating,
just like Pi.
