Here are some thoughts by geometer and researcher Peter van den Burg. Many thanks to Peter for allowing us to share his work. Wimborne Minster, April 11, 2025

It is no surprise that both the early arrival and apparent quality in execution of this formation leaves some questions open about whether this is a 'real' circle or not. I don’t know.

Quoted in extract — 342 characters of 1,990. The whole document is on the page that published it.

Geometry

5 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 b44e5f30 ≈ continuous (concentric circles) 2 2 0.993 0.1322

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 b44e5f30 · tt 8ac7d1c7 · tt f303f3bb · tt 770a7b1f— 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.
