How do you determine which portal a control field is created from?
I'm currently a L10 agent but until missions started I didn't really care where a Control Field was created from and this recently came up during a conversation. I'm trying to figure out which portal a control field is created from.
Given:
- We have portals A, B & C.
- We have already linked A to B
- While sitting at C we link C to A and we link C to B
My assumption would be that the Control Field would be created at portal C but I am not certain. This should be deterministic.
I am going to do some testing of theories related to this and I'll report back.

To create a Control Field \u0394, three Portals must be linked in a triangle. The three Portals used are often called Anchors. Portals inside the Control Field \u0394 can only be linked from Portals that are used for the anchors.Creating Control Fields in Ingress
