Abstract
Repeated coiling creates a filament hierarchy. We formulate helicalization as an iterated map acting on an arbitrary rod compliance, rather than homogenizing one prescribed construction. A marginal Jordan mode yields an outer-radius inverse-square stiffness class, while pitch disorder creates a Lyapunov threshold between amplified and screened extension--twist response. An exact finite-level rate distinguishes representative amplified and screened cases by level three; direct three-dimensional beam calculations validate the response through level four and convergence through level five.
