Fibonacci Phyllotaxis

Nature's packing algorithm — seeds arranged by the golden angle

The Golden Angle ≈ 137.508° = 360° × (1 − 1/φ) where φ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio. Placing each seed at this angle from the previous and at radius √n creates a pattern with no two seeds in line — maximally efficient packing. The number of visible spirals is always a Fibonacci number (5, 8, 13, 21, 34...). Try slightly changing the angle to break the magic!
