Cliff, I'm never quite sure where I'm going! I'm wallowing around somewhere 
between 4th and 5th grade and trying to make students understand big ideas. 

So:  Here is my "Slinky"

load 'plot'
do=: 13 :'({.y)+(i.{:>:y)*(--/}:y)%{:y'
t=:do 0 10 1000
sin=:1&o.
cos=:2&o.
'pensize 2;aspect 1'plot (sin t);cos t  NB. TWO poolar circles 'pensize 
2;aspect 1'plot t;(sin t);cos t  NB. Slinky from two circles over time

If I have a Fibonacci sequence (as simple as possible) then I should be able to 
make a "Golden Spiral" in 2-D. But if I could start with a 1 inch cube, could I 
turn my slinky into a "Snail Shell Spiral"

I have found the forum to be the most fun when a problem hatches and develops 
with ideas from everywhere.

A short take on where I think I may be headed.  Now I'll look at what you sent. 
 Cheers.  Linda

Hi Linda,

You might like:

fiba =: 3 : 0
'height width' =. $y
if. (height>:width) do.
  y,.(height,height)$height
else.
  y,(width,width)$width
end.
)

NB. or similarly:

fibb =: 3 : 'y (,`,.) @.(>:/$y)  (s,s) $ s=.>./$y'    NB. wow, gerund

NB. run:

fiba^:7 (1 1$1)
viewmat 5 | fibb^:10 (1 3$1)  NB. Lucas mod 5

Kind regards,
Ben

    fib3=: 13 :'}.1|.,''),(fib2 '',"_ 1":i.y,1'

    ". fib3 6
0 1 1 2 3 5


Let's reorganize by grouping all the strings to increase the sentence 
legibility.

    '),(fib2 ' ,"_ 1  ": ,. i. 7
),(fib2 0
),(fib2 1
),(fib2 2
),(fib2 3
),(fib2 4
),(fib2 5
),(fib2 6

 From here ravel, rotate by one position, finally discard the extra comma.
