For detailed definitions, here is one site - there are many more sites to look at.

I was working (playing) with a protractor and compass to see if what was in my mind would translate to paper.
Some of it did - some of it did not.
The attached drawings are my musings transferred to paper.

I know what a compass is & I know what a protractor is. I never took geometry. Your designs are exquisite & would love to see them in fabric. I like paper piecing & wonder if they are adaptable to that technique. Just for grins, "L" is my favorite. I'm guessing it is the completed design. Tks for sharing your abilities & skills. Kathy

I am quite sure that English Paper Piecing would work - for the diamond pieces, anyway.
I was just watching the progression - as more diamonds are added, the points extend further - but they will never quite touch the second circle (which has double the radius of the first circle).

I love your way of thinking! I could use this to make some round place mats for my mother. She has been reminding me of how she would like a set for her home in Florida. What a wonderful Christmas gift it would make. Here I go again putting off my quilt for my bed. LOL
