The golden ratio is not a rational number. It cannot be expressed exactly as the quotient of two integers. It can be expressed as the quotient: (1+SQRT5)/2 where SQRT5 menas the square root of 5 (that is not a rational number either and so no quitient involving it is a rational number)

What is the comparison of a rational number and a ratio?

I have no idea what "compersion" means or what you are trying to say. A rational number is so called because it can be expressed as ratio of two integers.

However, the relationship is not one of equivalence: each rational number can be represented by infinitely many equivalent ratios.
