Can a photon be represented as a rotating circle?

Let me share a quote from my own essay:
"Dynamic flows on a seven-dimensional sphere that do not coincide with the globally minimal vector field, but remain locally minimal vector fields of matter velocities, we interpret as physical fields and particles. At the same time, if in the space of the evolving 3-sphere $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ the vector field forms singularities (compact inertial manifolds in which flows are closed), then they are associated with fermions, and if flows are closed only in the dual space $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ with an inverse metric, then the singularities are associated with bosons. For example, a photon is a limit cycle (circle) of a dual space, which in Minkowski space translationally moves along an isotropic straight line lying in an arbitrary plane $(z,t)$, and rotates in the planes $(x,t)$, $(y,t)$."

Unlike the Kaluza theory, where the fifth dimension serves as a source of electromagnetic vector potential, we have a ring (circle) in additional dimensions, the movement of which in Minkowski space is equivalent to the movement of a polarized photon. However, this does not mean that our dynamical system is unable to cope, like Kaluza's theory, with the assignment of a vector potential.

You have different polarizations, not just
Circular.

Juan Weisz The limit cycle in dual space is a point in Minkowski space, therefore, the rotation of the limit cycle in the plane (x,t) and (y,t) has a phase shift, and the superposition of these rotations is responsible for the polarization of the photon.
