Circle-intersection Devron conjecture for polygons

Let AA be a 2n2n-gon, with n3n\geq 3, such that circle intersection takes half of its vertices to a common point. Starting with the other half of the vertices, perform bipartite circle intersection.

Circle-intersection Devron conjecture. After 2n62n-6 steps, one reaches another polygon for which circle intersection takes half of the vertices to a common point.

This is one of the experimentally observed settings in which the Devron property appears to persist despite the more complicated propagation rule. The conjecture includes the degenerate case n=3n=3, where the conclusion follows from a Euclidean-geometry result about three circles having a common point.
