PolySkelion script

Here is my FLAWED galactic skelion script.
Something is wrong with the math, or ?
The script can be used to make the spirals needed, but they must be manipulated a lot.

After forming the N spirals, discard all but the two at 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock.

Move the lower tail of 1 to touch the upper tail of 3. Draw 2 tangent lines at their intersection.
Rotate 1, centered on intersection using its tangent line as a "handle," to overlay the tangents.
This makes a small angle at the tentacle tip, which can be blended away later.
This makes spiral 1 and spiral 2 tangent at the intersection.
Run separate, and discard the upper tail of 1, and the lower tail of 3.
The red curve below is the result.
Create an N-gon, using side version, with the centers of spiral 1 and spiral 2, to yield its center.
The remaining two "half" spiral curves, from spiral center to spiral center may be joined, and circular arrayed by N,
using the center of the N-gon as the circular array center. The blue spirals are the result.
N is seven for the attached picture.
Note the points inside the teal heptagon are the intersection points of spirals 1 and 3, and they are not on the teal heptagon.
