The "clock" or "compass" : you can find previous discussions with the search box. Personally I don't believe it looks like any known object or symbol (unless you want to see an analogy with the Islamic magic "caractères à lunettes" but the VMs has no other resemblance to the Picatrix), so it has to be something original. My own speculation is that it represents a token's horizontal and vertical movement on a grid, describing how the pseudo-language was generated. An important hint is the circle around it, decorated with the "three bars" pattern, also found elsewhere. As usual, VMs symbols can only be understood if you already "know" what the author(s) had in mind, which is why everyone sees something different, one speculation leading to another...
