A fitting layout to explore biology’s towering, nested structure is a zoom spiral!

What advantages do you think a spiral grants over a linear towering layout?
Linear layouts lose some continuity, right? You have to jump across the page at the edge every time (if it wraps to the next line). You can also portray infinite descents nicely.
Yes to all this! I was also very taken by how self-similar Huizenga's spiral was: circles in a circley coil, growing as they zoom.
Biological structures are made of such coilings to achieve density!
I'm even imagining a zoom interaction like @HemisphereGames's Osmos.pic.twitter.com/z1hpilmeg8

Is this in anyway connected with Jerome Bruner's spiral curriculum as espoused in Man: A Course of Study?
Not sure! It's probably documented somewhere on the ross institute website
