Abstract

Helices are explored as functions of circle reformation using observations that the circle functions as both Whole and parts in ways no other shape or form demonstrates. The generalization of tubes and cones, parallel surface and non-parallel surface, is fundamental to reforming the circle reveling countless variations in the helix and conical helices. The circle can generate forms that in multiples will model natural growth systems revealing a dynamic process reflecting the interrelated nature of universe order. The helix and conical helix are uniquely demonstrated in the first right angle movement of the circle to itself and fundamental to all subsequent folding of the circle.
