I understand it was inspired by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis, but arrangement on leaves serves the purpose of growth in a specific niche.

The LEDs used here do not really tap into any of that, and the name is also a misnomer. That's not good.
