Abstract: Abstract This work is based on the “Bearing Spiral Hypothesis”. It refers primarily to organic objects with helical or spiral structures and shapes. It assumes the existence of a single bearing (generative) spiral (or helix) that sets the trajectory of the elements’ multiplication. The elements, regularly located on the bearing spiral, form discrete lattices that can be studied using elementary geometry. The key point of the hypothesis is the interpretation of the “mode of existence” of the bearing spiral. Since nothing has been identified resembling this spiral “in physical expression” in plant anatomy, it is necessary to initially agree that the bearing spiral can be a spatial expression of a cyclic process.
