Newton Diameters and the Deltoid Envelope of a Regular Trifolium
For a regular three-petalled quartic, the mean of four secant intersections lies on an explicit Newton diameter. The envelope is a deltoid scaled by one quarter. Vieta's formula and a separate exceptional-direction calculation establish the diameter identity and the existence of four distinct real intersections in every direction.
