Inversion Puzzle

$begingroup$
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.

Because I drew them in procreate. Thats a good point I'll remember that next time I make something like this

My solution is
2 moves to make the inversions - was very slow to make this horrible graphic!

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.

EDIT: I found an even better
2 inversion solution:
And of course, this is the optimal solution because you obviously can’t get to the end with only one inversion
Original answer: I can do it in
6 inversions
by
inverting a set of 4 non-adjacent big triangles (the ones that go BWBW or WBWB), then inverting the 2 black rings that result from that. (Will update with a visual later)

@ArtemLugin this was first with the 6 solution, I was working on the graphic for my 2 solution when PilsNot3 announced he had found a 2 solution. However I didn't post anything until mine was ready.
