13. The image of A s.t. A = { z E C | z = -t + it , t > 0} when z |-> e^z
So we let w = e^z = e^(-t+it) = e^-t cis (t)

so |w| = e^-t and lies between (0,1), as t>0

The value of arg w = t , which can take all values in the interval (0, infinity)

So as arg z increases, mod z becomes small.

And that is how you mathematically form a conch spiral.

23. expression in the sense that it expresses an idea, yes
expression in the mathematical sense, no, you are right about that.

24. Yup, that settles it, I'm a nerd.
(Mind you, if you'd seen me take quantum phsyics to the Religion/Theology forum, you'd have come to that conclusion already.)
