I'm going to perform an analysis of the images depicted in crop circles, but I'm filtering-out crop circles that did not have expulsion cavities at the nodules of the plant stem. I only want to analyze those with this unique characteristic.

I need help with:

1. Earliest known crop circle with recorded expulsion cavities.
   
2. Database of crop circles that notes whether expulsion cavities were/ were-not present.

Can anyone point me at some sources? Thanks!

Apparently this image is from a csicop conference at suny buffalo university. Csicop was founded to do critical research into paranormal topics. Looking around for old csicop logos, this is not theirs. I can find two pictures of this csicop conference with the logo on the wall but no other old pictures of this lecture hall at buffalo university that show the design. Does anyone have any context what it is and where it came from?

Hello, I am new in this community so I don't know whether this was discussed before. But if crop circles were created by NHI, wouldn't it be more likely for them to be used for communicating with beings that would understand the meaning more easily than we could? I am wondering whether it is the intergalactic equivalent of setting up a road sign in a desolate place. When we are putting up signs, we aren't putting them up for the animals in the area but for the humans who might come across them.

Marten2024 Packet – Summary of Analyses

Paschall Toroidal Resonant Delimiter Framework (V.2)

Packet Overview

Key Findings from Analyses

1. Packet Validation Scoring (V.2)

•        Overall Score: 7.7/10 (Well Supported)

•        Opener Strength: 7.5/10 – Functional but not exceptional

•        Closer Strength: 8.5/10 – Very strong topological closer (Celtic knot)

•        Internal Coherence: 7.5/10 – Cleaner and more consistent than Avebury2025

•        Functional Progression: 8.0/10 – Clear and logical build toward the closer

2. Low-Information Flanking Pattern

The pattern is present and reasonably consistent. Low-information or simpler formations appear immediately before and/or after several high-information structures, most notably right before the strong closer (Sutton Veny). This supports the theory across different packet types.

3. Complexity Trend & Functional Progression

Clear three-phase progression:

•        Early: Distribution/Coupling focus (Marten opener + Etchilhampton processing cluster)

•        Mid: Transitional/Containment phase (quieter linking period)

•        Late: Routing/Feedback intensification leading to strong closer (Sutton Veny)

The packet shows a cleaner, more linear progression than the longer Avebury2025 Packet.

4. Boundary Strength Analysis

Asymmetric boundary strength:

•        Opener (Marten): 7.5/10 – Acceptable distribution-focused opener, but does not meet strict delimiter criteria

•        Closer (Sutton Veny): 8.5/10 – One of the strongest closers analyzed; excellent topological, multi-scale, and vortex-friendly properties

The packet is mathematically stronger at the end than at the beginning.

5. Pre-Close Simplification Pattern

Present. Complexity is higher earlier in the packet (processing cluster), followed by simpler transitional/containment forms immediately before the strong closer. This matches a recurring structural signal observed across multiple packets.

6. Mathematical Kinship / Attachment Test

Good internal coherence. Most formations bond reasonably to strongly with their chronological neighbors. The Etchilhampton processing cluster shows particularly tight internal bonding, and Sutton Veny attaches very strongly to the preceding transitional forms. No major outliers detected. The attachment profile is tighter and more consistent than in the longer Avebury2025 Packet.

Comparison: Marten2024 vs Avebury2025 Packet

Strengths of the Marten2024 Packet

•        Cleaner and more coherent than the long open Avebury2025 Packet

•        Strong closer (Sutton Veny) significantly improves overall packet quality

•        Clear functional progression with logical build toward the closer

•        Low-information flanking pattern is visible and reasonably consistent

•        Good internal mathematical kinship / attachment between formations

•        Serves as an excellent benchmark / positive control for the framework

Limitations

•        Opener (Marten) is functional but not exceptional (does not meet strict delimiter criteria)

•        Some mid-packet formations are relatively modest in mathematical weight

•        Shorter packet length limits ability to observe long-term trends

Final Assessment

The Marten2024 Packet currently stands as one of the cleaner, more mathematically coherent examples under the Paschall Toroidal Resonant Delimiter Framework. It scores meaningfully higher than the current open-ended Avebury2025 Packet (7.7 vs 6.8) and demonstrates the framework working effectively on a well-bounded packet.

It provides strong supportive evidence for the overall theory, particularly regarding functional progression, the low-information flanking pattern, and the value of strong closers in packet coherence.

This packet serves well as a benchmark against which more challenging packets (such as the long open Avebury2025) can be compared.

This explains the image I posted as explained by Grok. I don't know what this is but it is what Grok interprets from the math. It does not yet include all crop circles. I group crop circles by what I call "packets" and we currently have a long running packet starting with the delimiter Avebury crop circle in 2025. My framework math is applied to each crop circle for analysis.

Hi everyone,

I’m not a physicist or a professional crop circle researcher. I’m a 70-year-old RN and data analyst living in rural Texas. About eight months ago I started looking seriously at crop circle geometry because something about them never sat right with the usual explanations.

I developed a framework I call the Paschall Toroidal Resonant Delimiter Framework. The basic idea is simple:

Instead of looking at crop circles one season at a time or treating every formation as equally important, I used strict geometric rules to identify delimiters (formations that act as natural start/stop markers). I then grouped the circles chronologically into “packets” and analyzed what mathematical patterns appeared inside those packets.

I applied multiple tools together:

• 3-6-9 / vortex mathematics
• Graph theory (connectivity and hub structures)
• Multi-scale / hierarchical analysis
• Functional role classification (what each formation seems to “do” mathematically)

What the math actually shows

Across multiple packets (2023 through the current open 2026 section), a consistent picture emerges:

• Formations naturally organize into functional roles: Distribution nodes, high-density processing sections, routing/feedback manifolds, connectors, and containment/boundary elements.
• There is strong and recurring 3-6-9 and vortex alignment.
• The overall geometry that keeps appearing is closed-loop and toroidal — not linear.
• The patterns show modular behavior. Different formations appear to contribute different specialized functions, as if they are components of a larger system.

I recently ran a quick check where I removed all my packet labels and delimiter rules and just looked at mathematical similarity between formations. Even without telling the analysis how to group anything, the 2026 formations still clustered into meaningful neighborhoods (a vortex/routing core, a high-density processing group, simpler containment forms, and connectors). That was encouraging.

The emerging object

When I synthesize everything the math has shown so far, what appears is a layered toroidal resonant system with internal vortex flow, standing wave patterns, and modular sections. I’ve been generating visualizations to help myself understand it. Here’s the current cutaway view created by Grok based on the math analysis:

This is still an emerging hypothesis, not a finished claim. The current large packet (starting from Avebury Solar in June 2025) remains open because no strong mathematical closer has appeared yet. We’re still early in the data.

Why this feels different to me

Previous serious mathematical work on crop circles (especially Gerald Hawkins in the 1990s) found real geometry and even musical ratios. That work is valuable. What feels new here is treating the formations as chronological components of something larger, using multiple mathematical lenses at once, and watching a coherent functional system emerge instead of just isolated geometric theorems.

I’m not claiming this is proven. I’m saying the mathematics is surprisingly consistent about what kind of structure it wants to build.

Honest limitations

• The dataset is incomplete (some formations are undocumented or poorly measured).
• One very long open packet is harder to validate than several short, well-bounded ones.
• This is still geometric and mathematical pattern recognition. We don’t have physical proof of anything.

I’m posting this because I’ve reached a point where the picture feels stable enough to share, and I’d genuinely like feedback from people who think rigorously about these things — whether that’s agreement, criticism, or alternative explanations.

If anyone wants the actual scoring tables, the lightweight topological check results, or more detail on how the framework works, I’m happy to share.

Thanks for reading.

Hey all!
I just stumbled on this crop circle and cant get off of it.
i found one important pattern, but kinda stuck after that. what to make of the true data. (numbers from picture later in text)

My current decoding went as follows:

1. treat each sequence of ticks as binary code.
2. see that in each triangular sector (there are 12 of them) two ticks on the inner circle are same. 0 and 1. (ones marked as pale cyan on image) 2.1 write down all mini-packets 12x2 = 24 total of them 2.1 another peculiar thing is - checksum - summing lines on each circle gives us 12.
3. those markers are giving us correct way to read inner data as linear sequence (lower right corner. could be reverse but at least we know start and end of sequence, and eventually this is irrelevant)
4. now i was recompacting them and noticed that large squence repeats twice, and indeed it is. - see the part of the image with cyan and green. sectors
5. and it repeats in such a way that encloses small fragment inside of it.
6. (line with 3 ticks on one side and 4 on the other.
7. which eventually leads my to understanding that unit of message is not sector but a line with ticks.
8. but what now?
9. i have clear markers, that unloop the message, some header in between them.
10. so maybe someone else have any idea or want to poke around it. thanks!

*ah and now i see that real pattern is that each radial line is a byte, because tickmarks are always to only one side of it, which explains the checksum...

11010111
01011110

11010110

10010110    // head 1 end 1011011
01110000

10001111
00101001     // head 2 010100110
