Abstract
Summary It is shown that there is a logarithmic spiral that segments a straight line through its pole in the golden ratio ϕ . This is the same spiral that is often referred to in the literature as the “Golden Spiral” Using the tools of analytic geometry and parametric vector equations, it is shown that the golden spiral is actually a member of a family of spirals defined by a generalized equation. The spirals exist as a continuum defined by a real number q > 1. When q = ϕ , the spiral segments a line through its pole in the golden ratio. That is the characteristic feature that sets it apart from all the other spirals in the continuum.
