Think of it this way.  A circular spiral can be a series of half circles
with each half circle getting a little bigger.  Start with a small half
circle, then another half a little bit bigger etc.  You can also think
of it as a series of quarter circles with each one getting a little
bigger or a series of eighth circles etc etc.  But the simplest case
would be to think of it as halves that are increasing.
