You can describe your inversions however you like. I think an ordered grid from the center (n,m) is easy to understand (doesn't matter where to start due to radial symmetry), or an image

Neat puzzle! Is there a reason why the black regions are not uniform? It's not important, but it makes the puzzle slightly harder to solve using an image editor because it breaks floodfilling.
