Hajime Ishimori, Tatsuo Kobayashi, Hiroshi Ohki, Hirsi Okada, Yusuke
Shimizu, Morimitsu Tanimoto of respectively Niigata U. Japan, Kyoto
U., the British U. In Egypt, Niigata U. Japan, in "Non-Abelian
discrete symmetries in particle physics," arXiv: 1003.3552 v1 [hep-th]
18 Mar 2010, 177 pages, have expanded the paper's Fibonacci/Golden
Mean method cited in Quantum Gravity 360.9 to a much wider analysis of
GUTS (Grand Unified Theories) of which the Golden Ratio model for
flavor mixing is one of them.

Most of the above authors' paper is concerned with the Tri-Bimaximal
Mixing model of Lepton flavors and similar models rather than the
Golden Mean method. The Alternating Group A_4 of 4 elements and the
Symmetric Group S_4 on 4 elements are respectively analyzed from the
beginning to the "end" so to speak for flavors and quark masses and
mixing angles versus compatibility with SU(5) or SO(10) GUTs. Other
finite Non-Abelian groups are also studied with similar methods to the
A_4 and S_4 methods. Group Representation theory is presented from
literally the beginning.

I will try to go into more detail regarding points of similarity with
Probable Causation/Influence if I have more time available later.

The Universities cited in the Ishimori et al paper, if numbered 1 to 4
in sequence, apply respectively to the 6 authors in sequence 1, 2, 2,
3, 1, 4, although Niigata U. Japan seems to be labelled both 1 and 4
in their footnotes.
