4 magnet fields and iron filings

it looks like the iron filings take an opposite structure than the ferrocell. in the ferrocell the fields sepreate at the transitions between N and S poles. with iron filings they collect in the transition zones and the archs shown in the iron filings are opposit to the archs shown in the ferrocell. The poles seem to be respected in both structures. I think the ferro cell shows that magnets have two seperate fields with nothing traviling between them and that iron filings show the magnetic direction that little magnets follow. a magnet attracts N to S , but the fields are seperate from each other on the iron filings too under the infulance of the 2 magnets under the cloth. then again I could be wacky as a loon bot. What do you think ?
