Thanks Felix! :)

It can take a little while to really appreciate the streamlined workflow of MoI - I think it's only when you switch back to another program that you start to feel some of the frequent annoyances that you didn't previously notice... Stuff like things popping up over your work too much, needing to hold down shift or ctrl all the time, difficulty with selection, etc....

Report on Fibonacci torture tests with MoI2 and MoI3OctBeta. :-)

Behavior is different for MoI2 and MoI3OctBeta.

MoI3Beta will create up to about 14,000 seedpoints, and save the file.
At 15,000 or so seedpoints, MoI3Beta quits calculating and stops displaying any seedpoints.
Seems like memory or something is clogged up, as reloading the script quickly aborts, until MoI is closed and restarted.
(or else, if it manages to create and show the seedpointss, trying to save, results in a very "truncated" seed count.)

Moi2 is able to properly calculate, display, and save up to 20,000 seed points. File size is 16,174.
It takes about 34 seconds for points to start showing on the screen, and 4+ minutes to calculate/display the seed points.
MoI3Beta CAN load the file just fine.

Moi2 is able to calculate and display 25,000 seed points.
Startup was about 46 seconds, and it akes 7+ minutes to finish.
BUT, saving the file fails. Truncated file size was 7,873.

Moi2 is able to calculate and display 30,000 seed points.
Startup was about 70 seconds, and it akes 10+ minutes to finish.
again, saving the file fails. Truncated file size was 3,397.

Moi2 handles 22,000 seed points.
Moi3OctBeta loads the saved file fine.

Should be using a sunflower seed. Got one to model, basically a diamond shape.
So why not use a real diamond...

Nice animations that help illustrate the principles brought up in this thread:

All this has 13 (prime number) starting Fibonacci spiral !
From bottom to top!

Amazing what violin research comes up with!

Added "donut hole" by selecting seed start number >1.
