Default Log Spiral Grounds

What, if anything, do we know about the concept of a log spiral ground

I believe it's called the "Golden Ratio" based on
Fibonacci numbers and works as well as any other
ground plane including fractal ground planes. It,
like a fractal, is based on packing the most stuff
in the least amount of space. One sees the pattern
in pinecones, pineapples and sunflower seed heads.
