THEORY: crabwood_face, yin_yang have bounding-box aspects within 0.03 of phi (1.618). With n=7 formations this may be coincidence; it is a candidate for a pre-registered test on future formations, not a finding.
THEORY: the Flower-of-Life hex-lattice model finds no support — best case yin_yang at p=0.2623. If these patterns encode geometry, it is not via circle-centers on a hex lattice. The negative result is itself informative: it rules out the most commonly claimed construction.
THEORY: radii show no integer quantization vs the median (all p>0.24). Whatever sets element sizes is not a simple harmonic ladder of one base unit.
Hex-lattice (Flower of Life) model: no formation beats random. Radius quantization: none found. HOLD — nothing promoted.
