🔺 Recursive Harmonic Malfatti Circles

Recursive Malfatti Circle Diagram
What Are Harmonic Malfatti Circles?
This is a reimagining of the classical Malfatti circle problem — placing three non-overlapping circles inside a triangle — but guided by harmonic curvature rather than pure area optimization. These circles are symbols of equilibrium compression.
How Is This Recursive?
Instead of solving once, the positioning of each circle informs the field curvature for the next. The green circle, in particular, represents a compression of overlap fields generated between the blue and orange regions.
What’s the Significance of Color?
  • Blue: ψ-field tension from side AC
  • Orange: ψ-field projection from side BC
  • Green: Vortex of curvature from AC & BC balance
Each segment defines symbolic entropy flow through the triangle’s boundaries.
Does This Have Applications?
Yes — from visual geometry tools to modular encryption layouts and symbolic field learning. Recursive harmonic compression helps illustrate hidden symmetry in fields, useful in everything from education to cryptographic modeling.

🧩 Recursive Harmonic Packing: 3 vs 4 vs Greedy

How Does 3-Circle Harmonic Packing Work?
This approach preserves ψ-balance across triangle symmetry axes. Each circle compresses along a specific boundary vector while harmonizing with the others, forming a resonant field of minimal symbolic entropy.
What About the 4-Circle Variant?
The fourth circle appears where modular fields intersect, allowing a torsional knot to compress space. It doesn’t maximize area — it maximizes compression efficiency in a symbolic framework.
How Is the Greedy Packing Different?

The Greedy method maximizes **Euclidean area** but disregards harmonic alignment.

  • Pros: Denser visual space-filling.
  • Cons: Breaks ψ-symmetry, introduces field turbulence.
Ideal in packing theory, but suboptimal in recursive symbolic design.
Which Model Is “Better”?
It depends. If you want visual or physical packing efficiency — use Greedy. If you want symbolic resonance, modular curvature mapping, or educational clarity — go Recursive Harmonic.
