13 spiral pattern

[Last~Spiral]

somebody in the parabola video forums said something about parabola being the first song in something called the "13 spiral pattern". What is this???

[987]

I didn't see that post, but i have heard about it before..

Let's say the album starts with Parabol (song number 6) then continues to Parabola (song number 7). 6+6=13 which is the total number of songs on Lateralus. Then we go back to Schism, song number 5 and continues to Ticks and Leeches, song number 8. 5+8=13.
It makes a spiral.
6 7 5 8 4 9 3 10 2 11 1 12 13
(each pair of numbers adds to 13, if you write the numbers 1-13 in a line, then start at 6 and arch over to 7 then arch under to 5 and continue in a spiral you will understand).

Hope this gave you some insight on what they probably were talking about.
