Problem linijskog odsječka utemeljenog na omjeru zlatnog reza φ = 1,618033 ima analogiju u vjerojatnosti. Rješenje elementarne eksponencijalne raspodjele,
posebice ističe vrijednost 2lnφ. Ova vrijednost također ima ključnu ulogu u odnosu Rikatijevih hiperboličnih funkcija s Fibonačijevim i Lukasovim brojevima
u kontinuiranom području. Time se uspostavlja bliska veza između konstanti e i φ. Izvedena su dva nova teorema o konvergenciji konstanti φ i e . Broj e je temelj
Markovskih procesa, koji su našli primjenu u teoriji vjerojatnosni i umjetne inteligencije. Omjer konstanti e i φ, kao i mnogi drugi prirodni fenomeni na temelju
zlatnog reza, ističu potrebu za proširenjem područja vjerojatnosni i umjetne inteligencije.
