Circle operations uses Hoopsnake to recursively generate ever smaller circles in very precise patterns.  The definition uses the previous circle to determine the new radius and location for the following circle.  The radius is divided by a factor, changing this factor alters both the radius and the next position.  The position is drawn from a remapped domain, this produces the spiral.  Each  sequential circle is located on a rotating axis produced by evaluating the previous circle.  When the definition generates a circle it uses list insert to populate a complete list of all the circles previously created.  Using list item at the beginning of the circle generator allows us to only operate on the most recently created circle.

The tower is a simple example of using the diagrammatic qualities of the spiral in a more formal solution.  It simply moves the points up in the z-axis and generates a voronoi pattern. These cells are then broken apart and the points are piped.  The height of the tower and the distance between cells can be changed.
