VorticalAxis?

Vortical comes from vortex.  Coiled vortical flow can be seen everywhere in nature from the alternating longitudinal vortices which wind streams and rivers down to the ocean, to DNA's coiled compression of life, to galaxies imploding into the intense gravity of black holes.  Vortex is also related to "voracious" as in "swallowing," ie. suction.  The vortex is about flow.  It is an archetypal flow pattern observed self-organizing across all scales in nature.  The impulse for my posts on this blog is to promote the use of such patterns, flows, and qualities inherent to nature herself, so as to help regenerate the biosphere and build a harmonious society.
