It makes me happy that someone other than me raises this question. As CaryR says the outer ring of this folio is a place that seems to blur the line between what is text and what is imagery.
I like to call it the key clue that uncovers the crime. This string of o's clearly shows that the glyph o is the fundamental symbol of the entire symbolic system that forms the VM script. The dots simply stand for the o's. We have to imagine all the circles that we see in the VM formed by o's, and see the paragraphs of the running text also as circles filled with o's.
The o's represent the sky full of the stars. All other glyphs replace the o's to form the words with the other astronomical symbols.
The VM script is simply a game that wants to somehow reflect the movement in the sky
