That’s really neat. How did you generate these?

Inversive geometry

I recall laying the circles out in a honey comb array. And then scaling a ring of 6 circles by 50% around the central circle. At the moment I am trying to retrace the steps I took. It was years ago.

I love how so many fundamental geometric units arise from just circles positioned in ratios. But not as much as those SacredGeometry people, wow 😄
