Abstract: Harvard’s recent demonstration showed that imposing a parabolic orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) ramp ℓ(z) ∝ z^2 on a beam produces intensity maxima tracing an exact logarithmic spiral. We present a concise theoretical derivation of this Light Spiral Relation, reproduce the core experimental observations, and place the result in the broader context of the universal 1/E^2 suppression law across physical systems. Key findings: - Light Spiral Geometry: Parabolic OAM ramps yield θ(r) = (1/2) ln(r/r0). - Experimental Validation: Intensity peaks measured at multiple z-planes collapse onto a single log-spiral curve within 3% uncertainty. - Suppression Connection: Peak intensities follow f(ℓ) = 1 / [1 + (ℓ/ℓ0)^2], mirroring suppression in LIGO shot-noise, qubit T2, and BEI transitions.
