#422Phyllotaxis Type Storm

Letters seeded on a sunflower head: seed n sits at angle n·137.5° and radius c·√n, so the word spirals outward in the interlocking parastichies of true phyllotaxis. Each fragment finds its nearest seed and stamps that seed’s glyph, oriented radially, sized larger toward the rim and tinted along a hue wheel that turns with radius. The whole field rotates while every seed breathes on its own hashed phase, and a slow swell pulses through the head like a heartbeat. The pointer drags the spiral’s centre (it drifts on a lazy Lissajous when the cursor is away) and scrolling spins the storm.
