The Invisible Vortex: How a Swirling Potential Generates a Straight-Line Flow The core of this problem explores a fascinating relationship between two different types of movement: an outward-pushing flow and a hidden, circling rotation. The "observable" part of this system is a radial field that looks like spokes on a wheel, radiating in every direction from a single point. While these "spokes" point outward, the field is perfectly balanced; the strength of the flow decreases as it spreads out, ensuring that the total "flux" remains constant without any new field being created or destroyed in the space around the origin.
