Have you ever gotten ratio-ed by a mathematical spiral?

Introduction: The spiral
I hope that by color coding my build, it’s easy to see how the Golden Ratio works. It is a series of quarter circles, and the length of each quarter circle is made up of the previous two smaller quarter circles. You can ignore the spiral and just look at the colored squares. In reality this length difference is approximately 1.618.
The Golden Ratio is supposed to be an aesthetically pleasing, or even divine, design pattern, associated with Ancient Greece. It works like the Fibonacci sequence (where each number comes from adding the previous two): 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, …
Therefore yes, building a Golden Ratio in Minecraft quickly gets huge. My sequence makes 13 steps and expands to 382 blocks on the final quater circle. Wait, why would you even build that? A garden maybe?
How to: World Edit tutorial
This tutorial is exactly how I built it – there is a floor layer of colored squares, which is used to guide me to make the spiral on top of it using World Edit’s circle generation commands.
