I had better luck looking for examples of how to do this, which I found interesting. Within the code you can find the links to the preceding examples.

ADDENDUM:
To reverse the enumeration I use an additional counter and change the ordering of the counter. \foreach \s [count=\ss from 1]in {\t,...,2,1} Keep in mind that when adapting the spiral it was drawn from the inside out, for that reason the arrows are inverted with xscale=-1, and the shift is used so that it has a better finish when adapting to the curves. The code allows you to expand the result even with more nodes, all thanks to the \bonusspiral macro

coordinate (X)is defined inside the\ARCmacro. It can be used by Tikz in macro ÀLfor some reason. However, it's not clear to me if and how these 3 coordinates created inside your tabular are preserved. // So a SOLUTION might be to look fortikzmarkexamples on this site, set such tikzmarks withX` and overlay an other tikzpicture, probably below your tabular. // CONCLUSION: All in all it looks like much effort to me with little effect and alternative ways to obtain easier what you want with cleaner code. – MS-SPO Mar 16 '24 at 12:30
