//  Helix Implicit Euler:
//        x_1 = x_0 + 1/2 * ( helix(h,t_0,x_0)
//                          + helix(h,t_0+h,x_0+helix(h,t0,x0) ) )
//  Second order solver.
//  Take the current derivative and add it to the current position.
//  Take the output and its derivative. Add the mean of both derivatives
//  to form the final output
