Comment on “Hysteretic transition between states of a filled hexagonal magnetic dipole cluster”

In the paper "Andrew D.P. Smith, Peter T. Haugen, Boyd F. Edwards: Hysteretic transition between states of a filled hexagonal magnetic dipole cluster, Journal Magnetism and Magnetic Materials 549 (2022): 168991" hysteretic two stable arrangements cluster seven dipoles is presented. The relative strength center in arrangement serves as bifurcation parameter. authors clearly demonstrate existence instabilities accompanied by discontinuous jumps arrangement, but leave question about nature these unanswered. This comment clarifies instabilities: first one symmetry-breaking sub-critical with parabolic scaling potential energy difference branches, second fold its characteristic form semi-cubic parabola.
