nonn

An acute angled Babylonian spiral is constructed by starting with a zero vector and progressively concatenating the next longest vector with integral endpoints on a Cartesian grid. (The squares of the lengths of these vectors are A001481.) The direction of the new vector is chosen to maximize the change in direction from the previous vector. The Babylonian spiral (A256111) minimizes this angle.

			The coordinates of the first few points are (0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (-1,0), (1,1), (-1,-1), (-1,2).
