Construction
Six centres sit at distance 2r from the origin, 60° apart, so neighbouring circles just touch.
Mathematical properties
- ◇Each circle is tangent to its neighbours
- ◇Densest planar circle packing (hexagonal)
- ◇Projection of eight spheres in a cube arrangement
Symbolic interpretation
Sometimes compared to early cell division. A visual analogy, not a biological claim.
