I have heard that wavelike interference patterns are observed in the double slit experiment even when electrons are fired one by one.

My knowledge on the experimental setup is very basic. The reason I am posting here is out of curiosity relating to an equation I helped formulate describing a spiral superimposed on a sphere, which was "inspired" by the larmor precession of an electron magnetic moment in a changing magnetic field. I am not claiming the spiral equation in any way represents an actual electron. Still, I observe the spiral itself when viewed from many different angles resembles a wave interference pattern. My question is does the wave-interference-like-pattern visible in the spiral have any relationship to the wave-interference-like-pattern visible in the one-by-one-electron double slit wave interference experiment?

This animation shows an increasingly tight spiral arc from the north to the south pole of the surface of a sphere:
