Simplified numerical representation of Linné’s flower clock. A hypothetical flower A is represented with red petals, and flower B is represented with blue petals around a 24-h clock. The openness of flowers is indicated as −1 (closed), 0 (half-open), or 1 (open). The 2D vectors that contain elements of flower openness are displayed below the corresponding flowers. The two thick black arrows form a basis of the plane, and any arbitrary vector of flower openness locates on the unit circle on the plane. A thin black vector is depicted as an example, and its phase (the time of day) is recapitulated as the angle between the axis and the vector (double arc). The yellow and black bands around the clock represent the day and night times of a day. In an actual situation, the dimension of the vector will be the number of biological molecules used in the analysis, or the number of nodes in the previous layer of the neural network.
