A parametric 2D logarithmic spiral should be easy to do.
A less aesthetic, parametric 3D logarithmic spiral with sines, cosines, and exponentials is easy to do.
Escargot with 3D logarithmic spirals of constant curvature and torsion, turned out to be a lot more mathematically involved, and harder to program, than I thought.
Yoshida, and also Gur Harary describe how to do it.
Does MoI currently have any Log-Aesthetic Curves, such as described by Yoshida, and Levien?
Is there any Dormand-Prince or other Runge-Kutta algorithm accessible in MoI?
I have found a few on the web.
Also, it seems like the Euler Spiral would make a good building block?
