You can describe your inversions however you like. I think an ordered grid from the center (n,m) is easy to understand (doesn't matter where to start due to radial symmetry), or an image

Neat puzzle! Is there a reason why the black regions are not uniform? It's not important, but it makes the puzzle slightly harder to solve using an image editor because it breaks floodfilling.

I would have drawn it quicker by making a fresh start with an 8 x 4 rectangular grid. I was able to floodfill the white areas with black but somehow not with black areas with white.
