Main question now solved via an answer to a follow-up question.
Oct 30, 2013 at 16:50 comment added Vít Tuček It seems almost like a chain relation for continuous rotation in the plane.

Thought of a better name for these spirals.
Oct 28, 2013 at 18:38 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @GwynWhieldon: I have written software. It is not without flaws, possibly even bugs. Quickness depends more on job interference than on CPU cycles. Feel free to suggest an experiment!
Oct 28, 2013 at 17:32 comment added Gwyn Whieldon Have you written software to generate these quickly in terms of $r_0$ and $\varepsilon$?

Added another esp=1/2 example as a contrast.

Added a figure answering a question of Sam Hopkins.
Oct 27, 2013 at 13:28 comment added Joseph O'Rourke Good question, @SamHopkins. I will explore this a bit...
Oct 27, 2013 at 13:25 comment added Sam Hopkins Is there any $\varepsilon$ for which the curve does not remain a circle but nevertheless remains bounded?
Oct 26, 2013 at 21:40 comment added Joseph O'Rourke Thanks, @StefanKohl! :-) Yes, that sequence of collinear points was a complete surprise to me (although it makes sense in retrospect). I know little beyond what I have posted---Alas!
Oct 26, 2013 at 21:15 comment added Stefan Kohl Nice question! -- Your last picture shows long sequences of collinear points -- is this typical, and if so, what do you know about such sequences?

Re-hyphenated title.
