Fibonacci spiral
E1074917
UNEXPLORED
The Fibonacci spiral is a logarithmic spiral that approximates the pattern formed by quarter-circle arcs inscribed in squares whose side lengths follow the Fibonacci sequence, often seen in natural forms like shells and galaxies.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14030349 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Fibonacci spiral Context triple: [Leonardo Fibonacci, hasConceptNamedAfter, Fibonacci spiral]
-
A.
Fermat's spiral
Fermat's spiral is a plane curve whose radius grows with the square root of the angle, often used to model naturally occurring spiral patterns such as those in sunflowers and other phyllotactic arrangements.
-
B.
Eratosthenes spiral
The Eratosthenes spiral is a geometric visualization of prime numbers generated by the sieve of Eratosthenes, arranging integers in a spiral so that primes form distinctive radial patterns.
-
C.
Ulam spiral
The Ulam spiral is a graphical arrangement of the positive integers in a spiral pattern that reveals striking diagonal alignments of prime numbers, suggesting unexpected structure in their distribution.
-
D.
Fibonacci sequence
The Fibonacci sequence is an infinite series of numbers where each term is the sum of the two preceding ones, widely used in mathematics, art, and design due to its connection with the golden ratio and natural growth patterns.
-
E.
Archimedes' spiral
Archimedes' spiral is a classical mathematical curve that winds outward from a fixed point at a constant rate as it revolves around that point.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
