The golden angle (≈ 137.508°, marked φ on the slider) produces the efficient packing seen in sunflowers and pine cones · Rational multiples of 360° create visible spokes — try 120° (3 arms) or 144° (5 arms) · Drag divergence slowly away from φ to watch spoke patterns emerge · Change color mode mid-animation for a hybrid effect
