how are bbind points determined?

[king of nowhere]

So, a circle has specific bind points, which are determined according to geometric rules.

One thing that's not clear, though, is how the circle determines them first. I mean, once you draw a circle, does the circle know if it's supposed to have 2,4,6 or 9 points?

Say you decide to draw a 2 point circle. those points could be north and south, or east and west, or any other way. how are they determined? the first point can be drawn at any place, and it determines the new point opposite to it?

But then, those two points are councident with 2 of the 6 points in a 6-point circle. Can you turn a 2 point circle into a 6 point one by adding more points?

Intent always matters in sanderson magic, so maybe you have to think of the triangle when you draw the circle, and it determines the bind points?

So the bind points don't come into play unto you actually bind something to it. Intent comes in when you do the first binding. As long as the triangle can be changed to accommodate the other bind points but keep the original ones, it shouldn't matter.

So a 2 point circle can be changed into any other except 9 point. Unless you draw the triangle perfectly in a way to intersect the 2 original points
