But it's not a (rational) ratio nor a (rational) proportion, its name notwithstanding.

Let them be based on that ratio, which is OK with me. Are they equal to it?

I do not undertsand this. 8/5 is a ratio. 55/34 is a ratio, and so are 377/233 and 3571/2207. And the sequence thus constructed converges to phi. That's OK. But this does not make phi a ratio.

phi does not become more and more. For, it's a constant.

Nonetheless, as any irrational number phi has a decimal represenation which is neither finite nor periodic.

I understand what you mean, but
