head-at-angle

Nothing is placed by hand: the nth point sits at n·137.51° and radius √n. The closest any two points come is 1.60 of the mean spacing.

Drawn at its defaults, in heads, and counting them. It carries a slider over angle, so the claim in its caption strip is restated at every stop rather than at one. It takes no options at all, so every essay calling it gets this exact drawing.

The pattern itself

A head is a set of points

The nth primordium at n times an angle, and a radius of root n. Two lines of arithmetic produce a sunflower head, which is either remarkable or suspicious depending on how carefully the claim is stated — and stating it carefully is most of the work.
