Carol,

What a dumb question! Ha, just kidding.

I think you've got it right. In all my research I've not been able to find anything that suggests that the "golden section, mean, ratio" can be reduced to a single point on the canvas. They are rectangular sections created in a specific way with the use of Phi or phi, and hold within them the main components, or points of interest within the composition.

You can do a google search on "golden section" and get a ream of information on the subject. Much of it is mathematical some of it relates to art specifically.

Sorry about the conphusion.
