+#X text 170 77 A common idiom in Gem is to use the [repeat] object
+found in the Zexy library \, to generate multiple copies of the same
+object. Let's try using it to make our spiral.;
+#X obj 14 123 repeat 64;
+#X text 170 127 And indeed \, it works well. But a spiral is a linear
+structure \, without branches. Iteration has solved one problem \,
+only to present us with another: what if we want a branching structure?

+#X text 170 187 Recursion is an elegant solution to this problem.;
