''The tangential pitch and winding quotient''

The triple knot stabilizes only when its winding ratio approaches **13:8**,
the closest rational approximation to φ² that preserves rotational coherence.

== Why 13:8? ==
It is the smallest ratio that:

* avoids destructive interference
* maintains laminar tangential pitch
* supports precessional resonance

== The Winding Quotient ==
The quotient determines how the knot “breathes” within the torus,
setting the stage for the chamber dynamics that follow.
