Mathematical explanation: a spiral is a curve which emanates from a point, moving farther away
as it revolves around the point. a curve on a plane that winds around a
fixed center point at a continuously increasing or decreasing distance
from the point.
Tessellation - A regular tessellation is a highly symmetric, edge-to-edge tiling made up of
regular polygons, all of the same shape. There are only three regular tessellations:
those made up of equilateral triangles, squares, or regular hexagons. All three of these
tilings are isogonal and monohedral.
Mathematical explanation - A tessellation or tiling is the covering of a surface, often a plane, using
one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics,
tessellation can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries. A
periodic tiling has a repeating pattern.
Fractals - In mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at
arbitrarily small scales, usually having a fractal dimension strictly exceeding the
topological dimension.
