Of course, the field itself is a vector, with a positive magnitude (absolute value) and a direction.
So the electric field of this toroid and the frame of reference has been determined to be between 12 and 6, the magnetic field is then by default the equatorial axis between 3 and 9. Since the inside of the toroid has the same magnetic vector with a negative value. Thus it is considered a south pole. Or the opppsite to positive which is in the 3 position on the outside of the toroid. In order to maintain geometry for the directional change of the current we have flipped the clock face as shown. The issue is the positive and negative values can not flip as well. They are fixed. This means where reality says the electric field is a uniform dipole, the math derived from 2D waves has produced a positive and negative value for either end of the dipole. If we correct this issue then we run into the same problem on the magnetic field values.
The we have the secondary axis to measure from, as waves reach his location we must be able to determine the force. Since 2 negatives are above his locations and he is looking at the opposite side, we can assume both to be positive values of motion. While the opposite side of the wave to this location is now suppose to be negative and opposite, it is further away and more positive than the "negative" wave value on all sides of the toroid.
Maxwells equations work in a 2 dimensional universe, they do not work for 3 dimensional waves.
Try to fix the problem? Find a better method that provides the correct values so every observer can accurately predict the location direction and amplitude of the helical wave peak at any time.
Its hard to wrap your head around, but thats what you have to do. You have to view it in terms of spin up and spin down to view the quadrupole correctly, and clockwise or anticlockwise to view the dipole correctly. Its not a math exercise, its a perspective exercise. How does the opposite observer view rotation to you? You have to be able to look both ways along a helical wave and see the directional change of rotation switching the pole on your perspective, even although it is spinning the same way and all values are still the same.
