In contrast to the Fibonacci Spiral, the Golden Mean Spiral laid out on a polar graph would look like the following illustration below.

Golden Mean Spiral

If you were to overlay these two graphs (below) labeled (Fibonacci "A") & (Golden Mean Spiral "B"), it would look like "B". Both spirals would overlap each other very nicely with the exception that the Golden Mean Spiral continues on into the center.

"A" Fibonacci Spiral Starts at
0 Degrees and at the top of the Inner First Circle
"B" Logarithmic (Golden Mean) Spiral
Continues into the center


We have seen in Section 3, Figure 2 and 3, that highlighting the 0, 120, and 240-degree lines delineates a tetrahedron. When we overlay these two components (the spirals and the tetrahedron) upon a polar graph we can see the polar graph, spirals and the tetrahedron all align. See below
