How can I visually determine whether a 2D waifu has a cunt?

If there's net clockwise or counter clockwise motion. Patterns 1 and 3 have curl.

By looking at it.

Make sure it is a qt loli

Picture a paddle wheel in it.

If it spins, you got curl.

But pattern one has no net motion

Imagine the arrows are water flowing. If you stand in the middle, extend your arms, you're gonna start spinning. You'll spin everywhere in this vector field, but you'll at least be able to stand still in the center.

Curl is just how much a vector field will make something twist

Do you not understand torque

Imagine there is a rigid body inside as Paddleman says and if it has a net moment then it has curl
