It resembles the internal combustion engine's cycle.
(Ez 1: four wheels, turn not, move on their sides: pistons)
Hebrew Gilgal is both circle and wheel.
It is mentioned here as for sun and male:
The Masculine Cross and Ancient Sex Worship
by Sha Rocco (pseudonym of Hargrave Jennings) [1874]

But I still remember the vision of eating one pussy I met,
wherein I heard, "Hold the wheel like I showed you, Jabob."
The Omegaform display on WordsEx's splash screen is a thing I saw
in the sky on a cloud after the storm: gold, self-luminous, like
a cylinder and a torus with a void at their union, or one long
tube bent around and self-intersecting. It's like a hyper-Gilgal.
I think it is the "sign of the son-of-man coming in the clouds".
Otherwise, I'd say it is the female genital symbol, contrasting to
a white luminous phallus with a gamma (or alpha) trace inside it.
Subjectivly, I've fucked many times. Objectivly, no one was really paying attention.

Hey... I got some Dick at B&N!
That fish necklace line proves P.K. Dick has insights
to learn from, many low-hanging metaphors to decode.
I had a $25 gift card since Christmas, went double that
for two collections, and then I couldn't pass up Valis,
whose cover thralls:
"It is ... about madness, pain,
deception, death, obsessive
delusory states of mind, cruelty,
solitude, imprisonment, and it is a
joy to read." -- Washington Post Book World.
