Peacock Tail Concentric Circles as Interconnected Tori

The Peacocks tail. "All bird tails in symbolism have a flow direction inward toward the body". Symbolism involves energy flows, trust me for now about the bird tail flow direction, a postulate that has remained valid for many years of observing, but I'm going to subdivide it today (below).

Peacock tail concentric circles resemble tori linked by connection tubes, supporting the rule that all bird tails in symbolism flow inward toward the

Image A with it's concentric circles on the tail, looks very much like the tori interconnected by connection tubes, which I posted about recently. https://www.facebook.com/steven.b.halls/posts/pfbid02b9gXPC4YL4Y5NpBxRVa53Cs26amo2t3aLy96oX6ZPkZTu9NSbzN3qo1hL91StFFDl

So I looked back in my peacock collection, and sure enough, more of those interconnected tori are visible. My collection is small, https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/peacock/ and I haven't put much focus onto peacock tails, yet.

pInterest's "image thumbprinting" algorithm helps greatly in symbolism research. If you aren't using it yet, I recommend it. It keeps finding more and more examples on the topic you are interested in, and it saves so much time compared to visiting libraries all over the world. This kind of software is why the language of symbolism is being re-discovered. In just a few years of "looking at images", we can see more symbolism than the old guard experts who spent lifetimes and ended up with wrong guesses.

Now it's time to modify my bird tail flow direction postulate. For tails like image A,E,F and G, the flow direction seems inward to the body. But for the fan shaped upper tails like B,C and D, the cone shape tips of those feathers is suggestive of outflow direction away from the body.
