The structure of the spiral has the following properties:
1) The 1's represent the nodes of the hexagonal net.
2) Every 0 is surrounded by six equidistant 1's.
3) Every 1 is surrounded by three equidistant 0's and three equidistant 1's.
4) Diagonals are periodic sequences with period 3 (A011655).
Also the 1's represent the atoms of carbon in graphene.
