I want to know if an opposition between "center" and "encircle" strategies will always emerge, or whether a flat half-and-half division is equally probable

A yin-yang symbol within a black circular outline, divided into black and white regions. The black half occupies the upper left, containing a white dot slightly above center; the white half fills the lower right, containing a black dot below center. Instead of a smooth S-shaped boundary, the dividing line is jagged: it runs from the lower left upward toward the upper right, with irregular, torn-like edges that give the symbol a distressed appearance. The background is beige.

My intuition is that a flat line is unstable since negative curvature tends to cause less bumps (it's hard for the ball to squeeze in). Somewhat similar to DLA in spirit but different in the details en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusi...
