Alternating Polarities

Found in barriers around the torus and in flux tubes walls.

Alternating circle and diamond shapes for a barrier structure.

A wheel can represent a torus and a portal, both have an 
                             outer barrier structure. This one alternates flower and diamond shapes. 
                             The diamond is outflow polarity, the flower is generic but assumed to mean 
                             inflow in this context.
The torus barrier around Shiva has structure of 
                             alternating polarity symbols, circles and diamonds, inflow and outflow.
Circle and diamond shapes alternating as the structure of the
                             barrier around that vesica pisces shaped torus. Circle inflow, 
                             Diamond outflow polarity.

Barrier structure with alternating direction of fleur-de-lis or using alternating triangles. These are like a squared pleats barrier with additional directional symbols in each pleat.

A rectangular torus barrier showing alternating directions 
                             of where the fleur-de-lis outflow is pointing, inward or outward.
A rectangular torus barrier showing alternating directions 
                             of where the fleur-de-lis outflow is pointing, inward or outward.
A rectangular torus barrier showing alternating directions 
                             of where the triangles are pointing, inward or outward.

Crowns with alternating polarity symbols at the headband, which is the location of the portal through the barrier (of a head-torus portal symbol). This shows the simplified barrier structure diagrammatically.

Fleur-de-lis with an upward flow direction outflows, alternating with 
                             Templar cross symbols which are in this context assume to be inflow polarity.
Alternating fleur-de-lis upward outflow symbols and 
                             small spheres, which are apparently the opposite polarity; inflows.
                             The headband also has this pattern.
Palmettes with straight features are upward flow polarity. Curved-beak-birds 
                             are downward flow polarity.  The headband has alternating circle and diamonds 
                             pattern, showing the barrier structure, and the crown is a portal symbol through 
                             that barrier to higher dimension.

The alternating symbols in the choker collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece. They indicate a barrier structure around a portal, labeling the neck as the portal between a body-torus and a head-torus.

The so-called fire-stone symbol is an outflow directed outward, 
                             whereas the interlocked flint striker symbols have flow directed into 
                             an interior. Thus they represent alternating polarities, outward and inward.
Flow directed into an enclosed space, an interior, versus the 
                             firestone symbols with flow directed outward.
Similar alternating symbols from Ptolemaic Egypt.
The widest part of the container, which is serving as 
                             torus symbolism, has a barrier structure with alternating circles 
                             (having resemblance to Templar crosses), and those red triangles, with an 
                             equivalent flow meaning to the firestones on Golden Fleece chokers.
Flow directed outward alternating with flow to an interior, 
                             as the barrier structure around this family coat of arms crest.
Outer barrier circle symbols have vortex hinting; they 
                             alternate colors, but we can only guess which is inflow versus outflow.

The alternating symbols below, have outer barrier symbols that seem at first to all point outward like outflows. However when a palmette is surrounded by an enclosing line, it means that flow is directed inward to the interior.

The alternating symbols this outer barrier seem at first to all point 
                        outward like outflows. However when a palmette is surrounded by an enclosing 
                        line, it means that flow is directed inward to the interior.
The brim of this cup/cauldron container represents the barrier 
                             to the next higher dimension, and it's barrier structure has alternating 
                             upward palmettes and palmettes enclosed within lines to mean opposite 
                             polarity of inward flow.
More examples of alternating polarities, outflows directed 
                             upward and outward, then palmette flow directed to interior because 
                             they are enclosed by an outer line.

Alternating djeds and ankhs with droopy arms (tyet). That is 
                             diagramming a 
                             barrier separating the lower pictogram from the upper face. Djeds 
                             are upward flow, ankhs are downward flow symbols.
Alternating up and down, djeds and tyets. A barrier structure.
Faces are usually an inflow portal symbol to higher dimension. Between 
                             the faces are a variety of outflow symbols, so it is an alternating 
                             barrier pattern.
Alternating barrier symbols in the outer ring.
A cone-shape with many kernels is an outflow symbol. The other symbol 
                             resembles acorns, which is an inflow symbol.
Another example of acorns (inflow) and fleur-de-lis (outflow) 
                             alternating on the outer barrier structure of a flux tube symbol, a column.

The pattern of alternating polarity symbols in a line or a ring portal or an outer circle or rectangle torus, is useful to recognize and know what it means.

Barriers need inflows and outflows to adjust pressure.

The barrier surface is built from interconnected little tori.
The barrier surface is built from interconnected little tori.
  • This AI image shows a surface made of little spherical tori.
  • Another analogy would be a surface made of little sphere magnets.
  • Some of these spheres need outward outflows of energy/pressure.
  • And other spheres need inward flows to balance pressure.
Container representing a torus, it's structure in Minoan style of 
                             interconnected flux tubes using S curves.

Spherical tori making a barrier surface, need interlinking for strength and need inflows and outflows to keep pressures in balance.

When some tori have north outflow going outward, and others have 
                             north directed inward, their horizontal plane rotating flux tubes can 
                             potentially still create pulling tension to pull all the tori together.

When some tori have north outflow going outward, and others have north directed inward, their horizontal plane rotating flux tubes can potentially still create pulling tension to pull all the tori together.

This may seem very hypothetical, but recall from the page on Flux tubes that a floating superconductive disk above a magnetic track, has flux pinning and quantum locking, whereby flux tubes can sustain tension and compression.

A torus symbol with snakes representing flux tubes and 
                             showing complex curves that are creating cross-linking.
This omphalos seems like a torus symbol with 
                             it's outer barrier showing crosslinking by over-and-under weaving.

Some crosslinking of barriers uses S curves while others use over and under weaving patterns. Symbolism has many ways of showing crosslinking.

Altermagnetism diagrammed as alternating polarities.

Modern science is catching up to ancients, and giving new names to things. Altermagnetism is an arrangement of ferromagnetic atoms with alternating polarities.

For subatomic energy structures and flux tube walls, nature apparently builds these with pure tori and doesn't need ferromagnetic atoms.

Analogy for building flux tube walls out of tori, 
                             represented by little toy sphere magnets.
In symbolism, the origin of flux tubes seems built from 
                             a helical arrangement of smaller tori subunits.

Flux tubes can be huge or subatomic tiny size, but their walls seem depicted in this way.
