As originally designed, the spiral exits right in a natural upward flow...seemingly towards you.
Of course, shift perspective to observe that most seashells spiral clockwise...away from you.

It's a matter of perspective
Cycles repeat in the same order. Night follows day, summer follows spring. However, although the sequence of seasons remains the same, seasons often differ from year to year. Increasingly obvious with the impact of climate change! The spiral illustrates those differences as weather events reflect the repeating patterns of interdependence between seasons. Emérgéntly is a framework that helps us focus on those interdependencies and interrelationships.
Yes, but it is not always the same order.
The Emérgéntly Framework consistently spirals through the metaphors of Fire, Earth, Water, Air, BUT the order depends on what makes most logical sense for us to understand the particular situation. Our brains easily comprehend a linear sequence, but life is seldom linear. Many things happen simultaneously and interdependently, so the logical order may not be the way the system actually works. An Emérgéntly spiral is just a two dimensional map of a system. As always, it's helpful to remember that "the map is not the territory".
