Cool stuff. A flux tube image A, with little round tori flowing within it, and its walls made of little tori with alternating directions (plants and little-lines). That's what I think image A is about, and to me it is extraordinary.

I infer it because straight lines tend to mean upward outflow and wavy lines tend to mean downward inflow toward the core.

Other recent posts have covered this.

Image D is fun because the stairs change from high-density to lower-density, and because the path is curved, I presume it means downward flow.

The hill itself seems like a portal symbol with a fancy building (higher-density-reality) in the upper half.

Image B is some imagery of magnets forming a tube, and that concept is what I think the walls of image A's tube contain (as tori, not literal ferromagnetic atoms ).

Straight outflows in image E and G, making connections.

Also the spears on image C, F and G are upward, and the wavy flags are downward flow.

When I look at image C, I see a round barrier of a torus, and the orientation of its barrier elements is alternating.

Image G has bidirectional flags on the outer surface of a path doing a loop-back, like on image B.

Image F has a torus within a torus.

The inner torus has it's main outflow pointed horizontally ( and is presumably rotating, but not shown).

The bidirectional flags on circular barriers like image C and F, is an interesting wake-up-call.

When some little tori send outflow, and others receive inflow into the big circle, there must be a kind of inflation that achieves a balance of pressures.
