Until 22 August we identify our Purpose for the New Year of the Yellow Electric Seed Crop circle at Roman Road, near Tidcombe, Wiltshire, UK, reported on 8 August 2021 According to the Mayan Dreamspell calendar, on 26 July 2021 began the New Year of the Yellow Electric Seed. In the first lunar month of this year, from 26 July until 22 August 2021 we receive Tone 1 – the Magnetic Tone of Purpose, which has following meanings: Tone 1 – Source, Unity, God, Memory, Source of the Creative Energy, Unconditional Love, One Heart, Essence, Vibration of the Heart, New Beginnings, the Chalice of the Infinity, All That Is. In my opinion, the formation depicts the Source and symbolizes Tone 1 - the Magnetic Tone of Purpose. We are reminded that during the 1st Lunar month (First Magnetic Moon) we have the possibility to identify our Purpose for the New Year. Tone 1 helps us to feel our Unity with All…

Geometry

6 diagram file(s) on this page. measured from the diagram itself, and experimental: the extractor's rotational order is right on 88.8 % of a 200-diagram hand-labelled set against a gate of 90 %, so read a number here beside the picture rather than instead of it.

diagramrotational symmetryelementsringsmirrorfill
cc 3c0f1b73 ≈ continuous (concentric circles) 2 2 0.994 0.1685

Experimental, and marked ≈ wherever it appears. These numbers are read off a drawing, not off the field: the extractor's rotational order agrees with a hand-labelled set on 88.8 per cent of 200 diagrams against a gate of 90 per cent, its element count is within one on 97.5 per cent, and its ring count is not calibrated at all. Nothing in the analysis tree is derived from the rotational order while that gate is unmet.

Diagrams that look like these: cc 3c0f1b73 · ccc 08b86b70 · ccc 1b6a9ec1 · ccc 13c6129a · tt 5e404c48— the nearest by perceptual hash. The whole archive is browsable by shape in the shape section, and this formation's own diagrams go straight into that grid: show them in the grid.
