Quantifying the angular parameter linking successive iterates
Characterize the angular parameter θ(t) defined by $(Fn)(t) = Fn−1(θ(t)) in the rear-track iteration, and derive its asymptotic behavior relative to t + 2π; specifically, quantify θ(t) beyond the observed limit θ(t) − (t + 2π) → 0 as t → ∞.

While we have no way to quantify the angle { (t), considering large values of t and the spiral nature of the curve indi- cates that limt->co(((t) - (t +2 x) = 0.
