We propose a novel class of spirals that are based on perfect polygonal\nformations. The spirals are defined by a fractal of right triangles that\ndelineate their geometry and determine their progression rates and modes. We\nshow how these spirals match naturally occurring ones, including hurricanes and\ngalaxies, much better than already proposed models, allowing for more accurate\ncategorization of these phenomena and better prediction of their physical\nproperties.\n
