...my spiral point was regarding the fact that if you generate a circle
using Pi, the ends will never come together...they'll come really close but
by the definition of Pi's irrational 'ad infinitum' parameters, there will
always be a slight gap. the result will be a spiral...though determining
whether an outward spiral or inward spiral is impossible, a spiral must be
the result.

Hermit finds it very difficult to imagine wanting to draw a circle using PI,
and in any case cannot see how this would result in a spiral as PI does not
AFAIK converge. Can you explain more? A formula perhaps.
Thanks
Hermit
