What does "1, 2, 3, 5" refer to?

This question contains ending spoilers:

At the end of the game, after the credits, you see Maurice locked up in a garage, muttering the numbers "1, 2, 3, 5" to himself over and over again.

What does this mean? I've seen a few theories:

Someone in the audio logs mentioned putting the Fibonacci Sequence into ctOS to see if [..] subliminal messaging would cause people to see the numbers. Hence, Maurice saying the Fibonacci Sequence confirms that the 'experiment' [was] a success. (source)

another one:

1235 is the license plate from the car crash when Lena dies. (source)

and another one:

I'm assuming it's a reference to 1984 and Double Speak where they talk about how easily they could convince the population 2+2=5 if they wanted. That combined with Defalt's subtitle being "twoplustwoequalsfive" leads to that. (source)

Do any of these theories have any merit? (I'd go with the audio-log one, if that audio-log really exists)

Actually, I believe it refers to a standard torturing technique (as we all know Jordi did lots of), where you make someone count to 5, but hurt them when they say 4. Eventually, it becomes difficult for the person to say 4 at all. That's why Maurice kept trying to say "12345" but would say "Shit" because he couldn't say 4.
