On a darker note, “spiral” also has a memetic connection to insanity, delirium, or loss of will — as in the 😵💫 emoji, the 1987 mind-control-apocalypse cartoon Spiral Zone, the TMBG song “Spiraling Shape” (will make you go insane!), etc.
The main character is a mathematician subject to cephalagia and epiphany / eureka moments. He is obsessed by mathematical patterns in Nature like the Spiral ⇒ Fibonacci series ⇒ Phi the Golden number of Ancient Greeks.
But his quest for ultimate truth is in fact a spiral into madness.

I wonder if it could be just a matter of closeness in embedding space. Do embedding vectors get retrained every time?
Your comment reminds me Aronofsky’s movie “Pi”.
