Abstract
First I will discuss an issue of the double spirals in the field of architecture with a specific example, and describe its origin in the West. Secondly the structure of a screw which was brought together with a gun that had not only the issue of making a tail bolt, it further developed into manufacturing a gun barrel and to the structure of a rifle giving a bullet a rotary motion and thus it had a three-hold relation. Thirdly I will describe a hint leading into a conclusion from reviewing the fact of an Archimedean screw pump practically used as Mizuagewa. Consolidating a two dimensional flat-spiral into implemental instruments of three dimensional “screw” or “spring”, requires a clearer spiral recognition than twisting a straw rope unconsciously. I have a hypothesis that the spiral recognition is the core for the scientific recognition to establish a discipline in physical modern science. The objective of this thesis is to consolidate Japanese phenomena of the spiral recognition.

“Spiral” includes both spiral and helics. For example, a pitch in a record is a simple “Archimedean spiral”. (The distance from its origin angle of the spot revolving around the origin with a constant speed r=A 6.) If the whole record player is picked up, and a pedal placed to the edge of the player it creates helics. (Its shadow is a sine curve.)
